Bank of Utah Championship 2026: Round 3 tee times, pairings and how to watch
It's Moving Day at Black Desert Resort. Here's how to watch the third round action Saturday.
Austin Smotherman had a remarkable round of golf on Friday, matching his lowest round of his PGA Tour career with a 9-under 62 during the Bank of Utah Championship. This impressive score gave him a one-shot lead in the tournament, where making birdies is the key to making up ground. Smotherman, who is playing in his 100th PGA Tour event, made all but two of his 10 birdies from within 10 feet, with his longest birdie being a 20-footer on the par-3 17th hole.
His performance at the Black Desert Resort, which had perfect conditions, left him one shot ahead of Kevin Roy, who had opened with two rounds of 63. Smotherman's steady play, focusing on greens, fairways, and tight wedges, allowed him to lead after 36 holes at 17-under 125.
