  "account": "On Sunday, Viktor Hovland and Ryan Gerard will lead the Tour Championship, with a combined $10 million and the FedExCup title on the line. Hovland took the solo lead with a 5-under 65 score on Saturday, following up with four birdies in six holes and a clutch finish around the 18th green. The final round begins at 1:30 p.m. ET on CBS on Sunday. Currently, Hovland leads with a -15 score, followed closely by Gerard at -14 and a tie among Scottie Scheffler, Adam Scott, Ludvig Aberg, Scottie Scheffler, and Chris Gotterup at -12.

  "summary": "Rory McIlroy was the round's biggest mover, but still has some work to do after a rough first two rounds.",
