All times are Eastern.
Tim Clark, Mike Weir
Tee time: 1:35 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 8
Why you should watch: These two guys have had two of the best rounds of their careers -- of most players' careers -- at TPC Boston this week, and that's something capable of fueling a desire to win. The pair are separated by one shot as Clark leads the field at 14 under and Weir sits in solo second right behind him. Weir has already showed by his 68 in the second round that he's able to hold it together after going so low, but will the winless-on-TOUR Tim Clark be able to do the same?

Sergio Garcia, Ernie Els
Tee time: 1:05 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 23
Why you should watch: If Sunday has a power group, this is it. The international twosome combine for 23 wins, which is outstanding given Garcia's young age. And speaking of Garcia, have you seen him play lately? The guy is on fire and burning for a victory. After a tie for second at the PGA Championship (another major loss to Padraig Harrington) and a playoff loss and tie for second at The Barclays last week, it's pretty clear this Spaniard doesn't plan to throw in the towel. Els isn't as hot as Garcia right now, but he quietly played his way to 11 under in the second round with a 6-under 65 and is one of those guys you should never -- ever -- write off.

Carl Pettersson, Brandt Snedeker
Tee time: 11:05 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 4
Why you should watch: At 7-under par -- seven shots off the lead -- Pettersson and Snedeker might seem like an odd group to watch. However, it might be Sunday but it's not the final round, and these guys have more than just the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup to think about. Before they can focus their games on raising the FedExCup, they need to know whether they'll have a shot at another shiny cup. At 12th in world standings for the European Ryder Cup team and 15th in standings for the American Ryder Cup team, these two captain's picks hopefuls will be using the final two rounds to play their guts out and put it all on the line for captains Nick Faldo and Paul Azinger to stand up and pay attention to them. They've both got the talent, let's see if they can put it to use.
