You Oughta Know: Hurley, Els trying to beat odds

Both players in Sunday's final pairing at the Quicken Loans National will be trying to beat some fairly long odds to win. The explanation is something You Oughta Know going into the final round at Congressional.

• Billy Hurley III, who holds a two-shot lead over Ernie Els after 54 holes, has never won while holding a 54-hole lead. But then, this is only the second 54-hole lead he's ever held. The other time he held one, at the 2014 Greenbrier Classic, he shot a final-round 73 and finished T-4.

• Hurley, 34, has not finished better than T-41 this season.
