SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – We're two days into the raucous WM Phoenix Open, and the real party hasn't even begun yet.
Things always get turned up a few notches at TPC Scottsdale on Saturday – and this time, that doesn't just mean outside the ropes.
With half of this field still needing to complete their second rounds in the morning, the spectators who line up in the early-morning hours outside these front gates will have some meaningful golf to watch right off the bat, as a dozen of the top 27 on the current leaderboard will be on the course early.
Unlike the first two days, these players will be greeted by a negligible one-club breeze – conditions that will persist throughout the day, offering more scoring opportunities and a chance for some players to make a serious climb up a star-studded leaderboard currently topped by defending champion Scottie Scheffler.
