Texas Children's Houston Open Tee Times - Round Three
Tony Finau leads the event by two strokes going into the weekend, as he looks to defend the title he won in 2022
Tony Finau fired a joint course record 62 on Friday to move clear at the top of the Texas Children's Houston Open. Defending the title he won in 2022, the American sits two strokes ahead of Argentinian Alejandro Tosti.
Making an eagle, seven birdies and one bogey, Finau vaulted 34 spots as an eight-under-par round put him into pole position to pick up another PGA Tour title, with just 36 holes remaining.
Along with Tosti, Thomas Detry sits at six-under and three shots back of Finau, with World No.1 and recent Players Championship winner, Scottie Scheffler, four back of his fellow countryman.
Looking for a third consecutive PGA Tour title, Scheffler set a new record on Thursday as he produced his 28th consecutive round under-par, the longest run the PGA Tour has on record since starting to collect such data in 1983. However, records must come to an end and, on Friday, that's exactly what happened as Scheffler carded a level-par round of 70, which included a final hole double bogey, his first double bogey in 218 holes!
Sitting at nine-under-par, Finau has a slim advantage but, as is the case on 'Moving Day', we expect a few players to make a charge out of the pack. Below, we have listed the tee times for the event, which gets underway at 9.30am local time at Memorial Park Golf Course.
