Camilo Villegas has a three stroke lead over Vijay Singh and Nathan Green heading into today's final round at the Honda Classic.
Vijay has been a pleasant surprise this week. After a dismal 2009 PGA season which saw the hard-working Singh balloon to 68th on the money list after winning the FEDEX Cup the previous season many people thought his days as a top contender were over. But, the Florida swing seems to have been just what the doctor ordered. Vijay has put together three solid sub-70 rounds of 67-66-69. If he can shoot another round in the 60's who knows, Singh just might overcome Villegas' lead and capture the Honda Classic.
Another great round for Matt Every who is currently tied for 4th and he might make tomorrow's headlines as the Honda Champ. This spring has been a coming-out party of sorts for Every as he has been near the top of the leaderboard on several occasions.
I really like watching Sam Saunders play. He has put together three rounds of 69 this weekend. Sam plays under the huge shadow of his VERY famous grampa Arnie Palmer. Others would have wilted under the intense spotlight that follows him, but Saunders has prevailed. I hope he can win soon. Although I don't think he will ever lose the tag of "Arnie's grandson", a win will certainly give a boost to his ability to be himself.
Final Thoughts: I love the Bear Trap. It is up there with Amen Corners as a "deal breaker" for many a contender for the title. Look for this string of holes to have an impact on the final outcome of the Honda Classic.
