YOKOHAMA, Japan — Max Greyserman and Xander Schauffele are tied at the top of the leaderboard after the third round of the Baycurrent Classic, setting the stage for an exciting final day of competition. Both golfers finished with a total score of 12-under 201 at the Yokohama Country Club, despite challenging rainy conditions. Greyserman carded an even-par 71, while Schauffele posted an impressive 67. Greyserman, who has consistently held or shared the lead since the tournament began, is vying for his first PGA Tour title, having finished as the runner-up in this event last year. Schauffele, a seasoned champion with two major titles, an Olympic gold medal, and numerous PGA Tour victories, is aiming to add another accolade to his illustrious career. The tournament holds special significance for Schauffele, whose mother grew up in Japan. ‘It would be an incredible feeling,’ he remarked, reflecting on the possibility of winning in front of his family. Five players, including defending champion Nico Echavarria, trail by three strokes heading into the final round. The Baycurrent Classic, the PGA Tour’s sole event in Japan, moved to Yokohama this year after previously being held east of Tokyo. The tournament, which debuted in 2019 with Tiger Woods as its inaugural winner, continues to draw top talent and captivate golf enthusiasts worldwide.
