Can Bubba Watson win a fourth Travelers? – Watson won here in 2010, 2015 and 2018 and is tied for the lead with 18 holes to play. He’s definitely the favorite with one round left. If he can get a fourth win, he’ll be in elite territory. Only 26 times in the history of the game has a player won a single event more than four times.

Can Kramer Hickok Win? – While Watson is trying to make history, Hickok is trying to get his first PGA Tour win. He looked good for most of the day on Saturday but faltered at the end. Can he handle being in the spotlight, with a star like Watson, on Sunday afternoon? If he can, he can make history of his own on Sunday.

Big Names in the Mix – In addition to Watson, some of the game’s biggest names find themselves close to the lead with one round left to play. Jason Day is just one shot back, while Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau are three shots behind. If any, or all, of these players can make an early run on Sunday, it will add to the final-round excitement.

Bunched Leaderboard – There are 16 players within three shots of the lead. Any one of those 16 could win on Sunday, which should make for an exciting final day. The advantage might be to the players who finish first and post a score that the others have to catch.

Who could make a huge comeback on Sunday? – The obvious choice would be Brooks Koepka, who is currently five shots behind the leaders. If he can shot a low score and get into the clubhouse with the lead, it will add intrigue at the end. Patrick Cantlay, who sits four shots back, is another candidate for a comeback.
