Moving Day

Traditional terminology for Saturday, the third round of a four-round professional tournament, when players typically make significant moves up or down the leaderboard that affect their final positioning. Moving day represents the crucial round where contenders separate themselves from the field and position themselves for Sunday's final round. Low scores on moving day can vault players into contention, while poor rounds can eliminate championship hopes. Understanding moving day dynamics helps golfers and fans appreciate tournament progression and the strategic importance of third-round performance in professional golf.
