Stream live on Facebook Watch: Click here for Featured Groups coverage SILVIS, Ill. – Hunter Mahan and Nick Watney headline the Featured Groups for Saturday’s Facebook Watch coverage of the third round of the John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run. Also featured in the coverage are Scott Brown, Hudson Swafford, Vaughn Taylor, and Mackenzie Hughes. The broadcast begins at 9:45 a.m. ET and runs through 6 p.m. All six players are at 5 under par, comfortably inside the cut line (everyone at 3 under or better made the weekend) and 10 strokes behind 36-hole leader Michael Kim. Players will go off of split tees, with the tee times moved up to get out ahead of forecasted storms. Swafford, Watney and Brown tee off at 10:20 a.m. Swafford and Watney each shot 2-under 69 in the rain-delayed second round, while Brown, coming off an opening 65, struggled to a 72. Watney (91) is comfortably inside the top 125 in the FedExCup, while Swafford (142) and Brown (118) are in doubt for making the FedExCup Playoffs. Two groups later, Taylor, Mahan and Hughes tee off at 10:40 p.m. ET. Hughes rallied with a second-round 65 to assure himself a weekend tee time. Mahan shot a second-round 67 and has impressed in his first start since the death of his sister-in-law early last week. Taylor (70) has been steady and at 106th looks good to make the FedExCup Playoffs. All six players are teeing off 1. At 1 p.m. ET, Facebook Watch transitions to the Featured Holes portion of the broadcast. We start with coverage of the par-4 first hole and par-4 14th hole. Once play has completed at No. 1, we will begin coverage at the scenic par-3 16th hole, adjacent to the Rock River.
