Get ready for an exciting day of golf as the 2026 WM Phoenix Open leaderboard is set to be shaken up! With the final round underway, all eyes are on Hideki Matsuyama, who is on a mission to claim his third victory at TPC Scottsdale. But can he hold off the chasing pack? And who will emerge as the ultimate champion?
The Chase is On
As the sun sets on the final round, Matsuyama finds himself in a one-shot lead, aiming to extend his winning streak. But he's not alone! A group of four determined golfers - Ryo Hisatsune, Si Woo Kim, Maverick McNealy, and Nicolai Hojgaard - are hot on his heels, ready to pounce and take the top spot. And let's not forget the likes of Matt Fitzpatrick, Akshay Bhatia, Viktor Hovland, Min Woo Lee, and Chris Gotterup, who are all within striking distance.
The Drama Unfolds
The drama intensifies as Si Woo Kim takes center stage, rolling in a long-distance birdie on the par-3 7th to reclaim the solo lead. But the story doesn't end there! Michael Thorbjornsen joins the lead, stuffing one in on No. 5 to reach 14 under alongside Kim and Matsuyama. And just when you think it can't get any more exciting, Scottie Scheffler makes a move, connecting from outside 30 feet on the par-4 8th to get to 11 under.
The Final Stretch
With nine holes to play, Matsuyama is still searching for his first fairway, but his short game is on fire! He scrambles for par on No. 9, turning in 2 under and maintaining a one-stroke lead. But the real test is yet to come, as the final 18 holes will decide the fate of the 2026 WM Phoenix Open champion.
