  "account": "Yokohama, Japan (AP) — Golfers Adam Scott and Justin Thomas have moved into contention at the PGA Tour's Baycurrent Classic in Japan on Saturday, one stroke behind the leader after three rounds at the Yokohama Country Club.\n\nScott teed off with a 6-under 65, including two eagles, while Thomas shot a 67. Both players are currently tied for fourth place. First-round leader Jacob Bridgeman, who posted a 69, shares the third-round lead with Michael Brennan and PGA Tour rookie Zach Bauchou, all with a 13-under 200 total.\n\nScott expressed satisfaction with his performance, stating that it places him in a strong position heading into the final round. \"You got to be pleased with that and something like that tomorrow might be enough,\" he remarked. \"It's not a bad spot to be a few back. Hopefully we'll be in for a great day.\"\n\nThe PGA Tour's sole event in Asia hosts its most formidable lineup of the FedEx Cup Fall series, featuring 13 of the 24 players who participated in the Presidents Cup two weeks prior in Medinah, Illinois.",
