Cameron Tringale shot a 6-under 65 on Saturday to share the 54-hole lead with Andrew Landry. Who will bring home the title on Sunday in Silvis, Ill.?
Charley Hoffman (+375 for a Top 20) … No matter where this tournament has been contested, he’s done well. Overall, he’s 12-for-12 with a T29 last year at Memorial Park. It wasn’t all that long ago when he checked all of the boxes on the stat sheet. That includes pop off the tee into his mid-40s. He’s also had something brewing the last two times out and arrives having scored par or better in 11 consecutive rounds. It’s spillover from a modest late surge of last season when he walked off with four straight paydays, including a T10 in Detroit. This bet is aggressive, but it’s a timely “before the reign” endorsement. Scott Piercy (+450 for a Top 20) … The same thing as detailed for Hoffman can be said of this veteran (who celebrated his 44th birthday on Sunday). Piercy is perfect in nine starts in this tournament, with a T32 (2020) and a T19 (2021) at Memorial Park. Teases to reignite in the long-term have been far and few between, but he’s connected for four top 30s in the last five months, including a T19 this season at the Sanderson Farms. Wyndham Clark … When he’s at his best, we’re treated to a show with his power and putting. It was only four weeks ago when he showcased both default strengths for a T16 at the ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP. Now, when they’re matched up on a track like Memorial Park, he’s the one treated to his best chance to excel. He opened last year’s second visit in 5-under through two rounds before slipping on the weekend, but that experience taught him what it will take to put four rounds together here. Retreat into a top-30 or -40 market where available. Beau Hossler … The University of Texas product has done some of his best work in the Lone Star State. That includes in Houston where he hung up a pair of top 15s at the previous host of the tournament. He regained fully exempt status this season with a terrific 2021-22 during which he elevated for seven top 25s. He’s already 4-for-4 this season with two top 25s thanks to one of the most reliable putters on the PGA TOUR. Walker Lee … The lefty from Houston is making his professional debut on the PGA TOUR. He concluded his amateur career at the Palmer Cup this past summer and turned pro for PGA TOUR Latinoamérica Qualifying at which he was the runner-up in Florida just last week, so the 24-year-old splashes with momentum. Twice a winner at Texas A&M and peaked at 38th in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. The only prop worth considering probably doesn’t exist, but it’d be fun to invest a fraction of a unit for him to make the cut. Odds were sourced on Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Marc Leishman got up-and-down from a tough lie behind the 18th green for one last birdie that gave him a 3-under 68 and extended his lead to five shots over Jason Day and Rickie Fowler going into the final round of the BMW Championship. Leishman gets another chance to win a FedExCup Playoffs event and grab one of the top five seeds at the TOUR Championship next week. The top seeds have the clearest path to claim the $10 million bonus. And this opportunity is much better than two weeks ago. Leishman shared the 54-hole lead at the TPC Boston with Justin Thomas, who surged past Leishman and held off Jordan Spieth. This time, no one could make a run at him Saturday on a warm day with a steady wind at Conway Farms. Fowler rolled in a 25-foot eagle putt from just short of the green on the opening hole, and made only one birdie the rest of the way. He missed putts from the 6-foot range on consecutive holes on the back nine, one of them for birdie, and couldn’t make birdie with an iron in his hand for his second shot on the par-5 18th. Day pulled within two shots with a birdie at the turn, but played the back nine with eight pars and a bogey. He also had an iron for his second shot on the 18th, but it plugged into the side of the bunker. Fowler and Day each shot 70. Leishman was at 19-under 194 after the kind of round that limited the possibilities for the final day. No one else was closer than seven shots of the affable Australian. Justin Rose had a 66 and was at 12-under 201, while Jon Rahm had a 65 and was in a large group at 11-under 202, eight shots out of the lead. The excitement figured to come from the race to East Lake. The top 30 in the FedExCup advance to next week’s TOUR Championship, where all have a mathematical chance at the $10 million bonus and are assured spots in every major except the PGA Championship next year. Phil Mickelson, finally finding his form late in the year, has a chance to make it to the TOUR Championship. He had a 69 — his seventh straight round in the 60s — but failed to take advantage of the easiest par 4 at Conway Farms — the reachable 15th — and took bogey on both par 3s. “I’m playing well enough to get in contention and win again,” said Mickelson, whose last trophy came from the British Open in 2013. “And I want to get in that field because I think if I do, I think I’ll have a really good shot at it.” Going into Sunday, Masters champion Sergio Garcia and a pair of PGA TOUR rookies, Mackenzie Hughes and Patrick Cantlay, were projected to get into the top 30.
