With just one week to go until this year's Masters, it should come as no surprise that some of the biggest names on the PGA Tour — from Scottie Scheffler to Rory McIlroy to Tony Finau, Wyndham Clark and Jason Day — have come to Texas to use the Texas Children's Houston Open as one last warmup for Augusta National. And to the delight of golf fans everywhere, many of those names find themselves squarely in the mix for a very healthy payout entering the final round on Sunday.
Rising star Min Woo Lee began the day with a three-shot lead over the field — his first 54-hole lead on the PGA Tour — thanks in large part to a third-round 63 on Saturday. But that's hardly cause to relax, with Scheffler lurking five shots back and McIlroy, Clark and others plenty capable of posting a low number and turning up the heat.
It all set up plenty of drama for Sunday at Memorial Park. Of course, while Lee is primarily concerned with finally bagging his first career PGA Tour victory, a nice chunk of the purse isn't a bad cherry on top.

Sure, it pales in comparison to The PLAYERS earlier this month and The Masters in just a week's time, but it's still among the higher totals that PGA Tour stars will compete for this year. And with every opportunity to fine-tune their games for Augusta critically important, it's no wonder that some of the biggest names in golf are extra motivated this weekend.
