Kevin Kisner ($8,500): Kisner comes in with some serious momentum after making a late charge at the Travelers, closing with a 63 to snag a top-10 finish. He also has an eye for Donald Ross layouts like Detroit GC, preferring to lean on accurate irons and deft touch around the greens. It s a big reason why he has had success at events like the Wyndham, another Ross design, and why he finished third here a year ago with bookend rounds of 65 and 66. Kisner also made the cut here in 2019 and has broken par in seven of eight career rounds in the Motor City. He s been pretty quiet this year and recently endured a stretch of five missed cuts in six starts. But last week signaled a possible turnaround, and he s now on a venue that fits his eye and one where he knows how to go low.

Doug Ghim and Justin Suh were pretty disappointed with the ragged finish to their round on Friday at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. The two were humming along nicely in the foursomes format but made bogeys at four of their last six holes to turn what was a solid effort into 73.

Ah, but youth bounces back better than most. Ghim, 25, and Suh, 23 – the youngest pair to make it to the weekend at Zurich – viewed Saturday as a new day, with new opportunity. They would shoot 8-under 63 to give themselves some hope heading into Sunday. Starting their day tied for 20th, the two moved inside the top 10 and are at 15-under 201 heading to Sunday, four shots behind leaders Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel.
