Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry are one shot behind leader Sepp Straka going into Sunday's final round of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am in California.

Gusts will reach 30 miles per hour throughout the day, and given Pebble Beach’s proximity to the Pacific Ocean, anything can happen. That means Sepp Straka’s three-shot lead is nowhere near safe, despite the Austrian posting a pair of 7-under 65s over the first 36 holes.

Straka fired a second straight 7-under 65, this time at Pebble Beach Golf Links, to take a three-shot lead. Straka benefitted from about 14 holes in little to no wind, while other challengers, including Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler, teed off later and spent more time in the tougher conditions.
