We've reached the one-year anniversary of the last normal event on the PGA Tour. The Arnold Palmer Invitational was the final tournament in 2020 with a full set of fans before the entire thing ground to a halt amid the COVID-19 pandemic at The Players Championship the following week at TPC Sawgrass.
Fittingly, the 2021 Arnold Palmer Invitational will feature the highest capacity since the shutdown. It is expected that 8,000 people will be allowed in this week to see Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Reed, Jordan Spieth, Viktor Hovland and Rory McIlroy tee it up at Bay Hill.
Last year's tournament was a war. Scores ballooned on the weekend, and in a rarity, just 4-under par won the tournament with Tyrrell Hatton besting Marc Leishman by one stroke and Sungjae Im by two.
After three rounds, it's veteran Lee Westwood sitting alone atop the leaderboard. A wild day of action jumbled things up and Westwood's 65 was good enough to earn a one-shot lead over Bryson DeChambeau and Corey Conners. Plus, Jordan Spieth and Keegan Bradley are not far behind and Rory McIlroy can get into contention with a low number on Sunday.
