Not on many people's list of likely winners before the Zurich Classic of New Orleans began, Zac Blair and Patrick Fishburn have the opportunity to go and become PGA Tour winners come Sunday night.
The pair - who are long-time buddies from back in Utah - currently lead the likes of Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, Patrick Cantlay, and Xander Schauffele on 23-under with just one round of foursomes left to go.
Blair - who only recently returned to the PGA Tour from two years out with a shoulder injury - and Fishburn, who has made just two cuts in his rookie season at this level, combined wonderfully on Saturday to record a 12-under round of 60 in the fourballs format.
And they will tee off last alongside Sweden's Henrik Norlander and America's Luke List later today as they search for a maiden victory on the PGA Tour.
McIlroy and Lowry - teammates at the past two Ryder Cups - will have plenty to say about that, however, and they begin just minutes in front in the penultimate group alongside Ryan Brehm and Mark Hubbard.

Among the 18 total pairings within five shots of Blair and Fishburn include the Canadian duo of Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin, plus Keith Mitchell and Joel Dahmen - both likely to be well supported by the New Orleans crowd.
The Fitzpatrick brothers, Alex and Matt, begin six shots back of the leading duo while Schauffele and Cantlay will start seven strokes off the top.
Here are the full tee times for round four of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
