Golf's next generation of high-level players is on display at the Wyndham Championship.

As the third round concluded, young stars like John Huh, Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth were at or near the top of the leaderboard. Watching them execute expertly on the rain-softened fairways of Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C., you get the feeling this is a scene that will play out quite often in the years to come.
