After Day 3 of the Northern Trust Open, Bill Haas (-12) is the leader going into Sunday after posting an improbable score of seven-under on Saturday.

He is currently three strokes ahead of his nearest competitors Charl Schwartzel (-9), Webb Simpson (-9) and John Merrick (-9).

While those three men are the favorites, some underdogs have shown they can make a strong push and still have a shot to win if they can get some help from the top players on the final day of this tournament.

Let's take a look at some of the men who fit the bill.

 

Sergio Garcia (-6)



Garcia started off the tournament strong, but he has since waned a bit and fallen on the leaderboard.

The spaniard's first day was no doubt a success after an opening-round 65, but on Day 2, Garcia faltered and shot a 73 that sent him backwards.

On Day 3, Garcia recovered nicely and finished with a 69, which will give him some momentum and put him in contention on Sunday.

Clearly, Garcia has already shown he can dominate this course, so if he can have a repeat round of 65 like he did on Day 1, he can pull out the victory.

 

Josh Teater (-7)



Teater is having one of the more consistent showings throughout this tournament.

After starting off relatively slow with an opening-round 70, Teater has improved his game in the last two days after shooting a 68 in each.

That has left the American in striking distance heading into the final day, and he could conceivably take home the title on Sunday.

It will take at least another round of 68 to give him a chance, but maybe Teater can better his score from the last two rounds in order to put himself at the top of the leaderboard.

 

Hunter Mahan (-6)
