Golf Highlight: Meet the Leaders

With four people tied for first place at the start of Saturday, the 2009 HP Byron Nelson Championship is still up for grabs. Dustin Johnson, Briny Baird, Rory Sabbatini and John Mallinger started the day tied for the lead, with the likes of Mike Weir and 26-year old Australian rookie James Nitties following close behind. 

Rory Sabbatini, a Southlake, Texas resident and local favorite, was a strong contender in the first two rounds. Sabbatini began playing golf when he was four years old, and is currently No. 29 in the race for the FedExCup.

Dustin Johnson will be looking to snag his third PGA TOUR victory, with the most recent being the 2009 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. He is No. 12 in the race for the FedExCup.

James Nitties, who is vying for his first PGA TOUR win, had his best 2009 finish at the FBR Open where he was T4.
