The final day of the season’s first signature event is almost here. With Hideki Matsuyama leading after the third round. He is the top prospect of getting his first victory of the season at the Sentry. The best performance he recorded was at the 2018 edition, where he was runner-up. However, the impressive performance seems to have him on the better side compared to other golfers. After three rounds, he yielded 11 birdies.

Not far away, Collin Morikawa and Sungjae Im also recorded 9 birdies and an eagle to stay close to the top spot. Morikawa has been an outstanding performer in the last five editions as he finished in the top 7s. This year, he will be aiming to lift the trophy. Though, apart from the competition among the golfers, the weather will also play a crucial role. With three rounds offering a mix of cloudy, sunny, and windy days. The deciding day is the most important one of the event.

While visibility-wise, the day will be ideal for golf, with sunny weather throughout. However, golfers will have to deal with the wind, as it is not going to be an easy one on the last day. As per the weather report of AccuWeather, the wind will be flowing in the south direction at the speed of 9 mph. Even the gust would be around 21 mph, making it tougher for the professionals on the course.
