The third round of the 2026 WM Phoenix Open gets underway on Saturday at TPC Scottsdale in Arizona.
Ryo Hisatsune leads the WM Phoenix Open after the first two rounds at 11-under par. He holds a one-stroke lead over the rest of the field, but the tournament remains wide open with two days remaining.
Here are my picks for WM Phoenix Open Round 3 best bets for Saturday.
WM Phoenix Open Round 3 Odds, Best Bets
Sam Stevens Top 20 (-130 at DraftKings)
Sam Stevens enters the weekend T10 at 6-under par, putting him in a relatively comfortable position for a top-20 finish. That said, with a tightly packed leaderboard, he is just two shots from slipping outside the top 20, which helps explain why this number is still available at -130.
Even so, there is reason for optimism regarding Stevens’ chances this weekend at TPC Scottsdale. He has developed into one of the stronger drivers in the field, gaining true strokes off the tee in each of his past 13 tournaments in which ShotLink data was available.
Driving performance is critical at TPC Scottsdale. Last year, each of the top three finishers ranked 17th or better in the field in strokes gained: off the tee.
No other strokes-gained category showed a similar trend.
Jacob Bridgeman Top 20 (+335 at DraftKings)
Another golfer worth targeting in the top-20 market is Jacob Bridgeman, who enters Saturday T37 at 3-under par. This play carries more risk, but Bridgeman sits just two shots outside the top 20.
At +335, the price warrants consideration given his profile.
Bridgeman’s driver has rounded into form to start 2026, as he has gained true strokes off the tee in each of his first two tournaments of the season. He finished inside the top 13 in both events.
One of Bridgeman’s strongest attributes is his scoring ability from 150-175 yards. He entered this tournament ranked 38th on the PGA Tour this season in birdie-or-better percentage from that distance.
That metric is particularly relevant at TPC Scottsdale, where 21.9% of approach shots last year came from the 150-175-yard range. That figure was more than 3% higher than any other 25-yard grouping.
