pgatour.com: Steve Stricker owns a three-stroke advantage over Jonathan Byrd, who already has one win and a playoff loss this year. The battle-tested Byrd, in fact, outdueled Stricker head-to-head in the final pairing at Kapalua when he captured the Hyundai Tournament of Champions to start 2011 with a bang.
Then there's Matt Kuchar, who will play in the penultimate group with Brandt Jobe and is a top-10 machine with three straight at Muirfield Village and seven overall this year. And don't forget Mark Wilson, a two-time winner in 2011 who trails Stricker by five, either.
The focus, of course, will be on Stricker, who threatened to turn the final round into a laugher when he eagled two of his first five holes Saturday and opened a six-stroke lead. But he's struggled down the home stretch, playing the back nine in 2 over this week compared to 14 under for the front
