Two of the top players in the game have separated themselves from the field in the season opener
What began as a 59-man field at the start of the week has turned into a two-man race at the 2025 Sentry. Hideki Matsuyama and Collin Morikawa have separated themselves from the field and head into the final round well clear clear of a chasing pack spearheaded by Thomas Detry, who sits in third place and will round out the final threesome on Sunday.
Matsuyama enters the final 18 holes at the Plantation Course with a slim one-stroke lead over Morikawa at 27 under after setting a new 54-hole scoring record at the Sentry. Matsuyama's 27-under score also ties the lowest 54-hole score on the PGA Tour since 1983, which was most recently shot by Nick Dunlap at the 2024 American Express.
Matsuyama was the one to command the 36-hole lead as the man from Japan grabbed his seventh career lead at the halfway point. His one-stroke edge over Morikawa was erased immediately as the two-time major champion penciled a circle onto his scorecard on the very first hole.
