Gary Woodland commands a three-shot lead at 13-under par after rounds of 64-63 entering Round 3 of the Texas Children's Houston Open at wind-swept Memorial Park Golf Course, fueling trader focus on his post-brain surgery resurgence and recent T14 at Valspar. Nicolai Højgaard and Jackson Suber lurk at 10-under, while defending champion Min Woo Lee, Jason Day, and Michael Thorbjornsen position well inside projected top-10 range amid the projected cut at -2. Scottie Scheffler's Tuesday withdrawal for his second child's birth, plus late exits by Aaron Rai and Pierceson Coody (back injury), thinned the elite field. Weekend gusts to 20 mph on the long par-70 layout amplify volatility for leaderboard shifts and top-10 finishes.
