Overview
- Xander Schauffele shot 67 and Max Greyserman posted an even-par 71 to finish three rounds tied at 12-under 201 at Yokohama Country Club.
- Five players sit three back at 9 under — defending champion Nico Echavarria, Michael Thorbjornsen, Byeong Hun An, Garrick Higgo and Si Woo Kim.
- Greyserman held the 36-hole lead at 12 under after a bogey-free 63 on Friday as Schauffele matched that 63 to charge into contention.
- Tee times were moved up for a blustery opening round with typhoon-related winds, scoring eased in calm second-round conditions, and steady rain toughened the third round.
- The 78-player, no-cut tournament is the PGA Tour’s lone event in Japan, rebranded and moved this year to Yokohama Country Club from Narashino.
