Taylor Pendrith leads the field by one heading into the final round of The CJ Cup Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch, with several players within striking distance as the Canadian hunts a first PGA Tour title.
Mexico Open winner, Jake Knapp was leading at the halfway stage on -14, but he now sits in second after carding a third-round 67 while Pendrith surged to the top via a Saturday 63.
Those two will tee off in the final group alongside American Ben Kohles shortly after Englishman Matt Wallace – who led after round one – tries to put the pressure on in the penultimate trio. Both Kohles and Wallace begin Sunday on 17-under.
In terms of the leaderboard, Alex Noren and Kelly Kraft continue the even duos on 15-under thanks to an opening round of 64 apiece. The pair also shot 66 and 68 across Friday and Saturday, although Kraft’s scores have continued to increase while Noren bounced back on Moving Day.
Making up the remainder of the top-10, and realistically the final group of players who may realistically be able to catch Pendrith at the top, are Kevin Tway, Vince Whaley, Byeong Hun An, and Troy Merritt – who blasted a stunning round of 62 on Friday.

Defending champion, Jason Day is well out of contention of six-under while 16-year-old English amateur Kris Kim will be hoping to continue his upwards trajectory with a strong finish. He begins his final round – after receiving a sponsor’s exemption – on eight-under.
