Brandt Snedeker is in the driving seat to win the Phoenix Open in Scottsdale (Snedeker 2/1 Waste Management Phoenix Open – In Play) after he fired a five-under-par 66 to lead by one shot going into Sunday’s final round.
The American is on 14 under par, one shot clear of compatriot Scott Piercy (6/1), who scored the day’s low round of 65.
Matt Every (14/1) and Rickie Fowler (5/1) are tied for third on 12 under par, while overnight leaders Camilo Villegas (8/1) and Mark Wilson (25/1) dropped off the pace.
England’s Ian Poulter (80/1) sits on eight under after his 70 on Saturday undid the hard work he put in on Friday to fire a 63.
Snedeker, who will look to clinch the title when he goes up against Piercy and Every in the fourth round three balls (Snedeker 6/5, Piercy 2/1, Every 9/4 Waste Management Phoenix Open – 4th Rd 3 Balls), said: “I played really good. I’m swinging it really good right now.
“I made one mistake on 14 and was able to make a long putt to save bogey. Besides that, I’m rolling it great.
“I’ve been hitting a lot of really quality shots, so it was a lot of fun out there.”
