The Honda Classic | Final Round Preview
PALM BEACH GARDENS - Daniel Berger tied largest 54-hole lead in Honda Classic tournament history and holds largest 54-hole lead on Tour since Jon Rahm at the 2021 Memorial Tournament. Berger is seeking his fifth career PGA Tour win and his third consecutive season with a win on Tour.
Shane Lowry posted low round of Saturday, playing at 3-under (67) and is now five strokes off the lead.
There are two non-PGA Tour members in the top 20 on the leaderboard, with Monday Open Qualifier Martin Contini (T-7) and sponsor exemption Andrew Kozan (T-19). A Top-10 finish by a non-member can earn a berth into next week’s Puerto Rico Open.
With a cumulative average of +1.666 through three rounds, PGA National is playing as the hardest non-major course on Tour since the 2020 BMW Championship (Olympia Fields Country Club/North).

Parting Putt:
As long as Jackie Gleason was mentioned above, we might as well pay tribute to Art Carney (Ed Norton) and “address the ball.”
