The rankings on the leaderboard shuffled like a deck of cards after the second round of the Genesis Open Invitational. Justin Thomas, who couldn’t sustain his lead, plummeted to T24. However, one man’s loss is another man’s gain, and Ludvig Aberg will agree. With a 6-under 70, he jumped two spots to grab the No. 1 spot.
‘Pinehurst heartbreak’ was heavy for Rory McIlroy; however, the PGA Tour pro is back at the Renaissance Club to defend his title. The post-U.S. Open hiatus has surely revitalized the 26-time PGA Tour champion, as he currently sits on T5, just three strokes behind the leader spot. With this, let’s explore the tee times and pairings for the penultimate round.
PGA Tour Communications revealed the Saturday round’s tee times and pairings in a post shared on its official X account (previously known as Twitter). The third round will be played in pairs and it will begin with the pair of Min Woo Lee and Max Homa teeing off at #1 at 4:14 a.m. EDT. The rest will follow them according to the following schedule:

Although Scottie Scheffler hasn’t returned to the greens yet, Xander Schauffele has made his comeback at the Scottish Open and is at T6 after the Friday round. Colin Morikawa has also been performing well, as he’s tied with Rory McIlroy and four others for the fifth spot. So, if you’ve bought the tickets to witness the magic of the pros live, it’s great but if you didn’t for any reason, you can watch them on your screens.
