PGA Tour rookie Davis Thompson searches for his first Tour title after holding the 18, 36 and 54-hole leads/co-leads.

South Africa’s Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Korea’s Tom Kim are trying to join Rahm (2018) as international players who have won this event. Five international players have won The American Express since the turn of the century.

Dylan Wu tied the Nicklaus Tournament Course low score with 1his 1-under (61).

The cut came at 10-under, tying the lowest 54-hole cut (2013) since The American Express became a 72-hole event in 2012.
