Sunday stakes rise at 2026 Austin Championship: Round 4 start moved early, Golf TV coverage at 12:30
Crowe holds a narrow lead
Crowe’s 71 on Saturday was his highest score of the week, but a strong finish limited the damage. He made birdie on both the 17th and 18th holes.
The first birdie came when Crowe holed a bunker shot on the par-3 17th. He followed it by sinking an eight-foot putt on the final hole. At 14 under, Crowe is one stroke ahead of Chad Ramey, Sami Valimaki and Erik van Rooyen. Each of those three golfers has already won on the PGA Tour; Crowe is seeking his first title.
Final group starts at 10:01
Crowe will play alongside Ramey and Valimaki in Sunday’s last group. Their scheduled tee time is 10:01 a.m. ET. A victory would give Crowe his first PGA Tour title and complete a wire-to-wire win at the Austin Championship. He begins the final round with a one-shot advantage.
