Baycurrent Classic: A Duel in the Downpour

Max Greyserman battled the elements to an even-par 71, watching his four-shot lead disappear. He now shares the top spot with Xander Schauffele, who fired a brilliant 67, setting up a classic Sunday duel in Japan.

• Greyserman on playing with Schauffele: "It's like playing Tiger in his prime."
• A win would be deeply personal for Schauffele, whose Japanese grandparents have been walking the course all week to support him.

The Chasing Pack

A dangerous group of five players, including defending champion Nico Echavarria and the hot-streaking Michael Thorbjornsen, sits just three shots back at nine-under, poised to take advantage of any final-round stumbles from the leaders.

• Keep an eye on Min Woo Lee, who birdied his final three holes to get to eight-under and within striking distance.
• Defending champion Nico Echavarria is quietly lurking in the pack, fighting to become the first back-to-back winner in tournament history.
