After 36 holes Wyndham Clark, Scottie Scheffler, Shane Lowry, Hideki Matsuyama, Brian Harman and Russell Henley were all tied first on seven under. Lowry played the front nine in a disappointing +1. Clark, Henley, Matsuyama and Scheffler all shot a front nine of +2. After nine holes Will Zalatoris was leading on -10 due to a front nine of 32.

Scheffler played holes 10 to 15 in -3 to reach -8. Scheffler’s final birdie of day three came at 16 to shoot a -2 round of 70. Lowry made four fantastic birdies to shoot an impressive back nine of 33. Lowry played 54 holes in -9.

The leaderboard changed due to Zalatoris dropping four shots at 15 and 18. Zalatoris shot a back nine of 39 and starts day four on -7. It would be fantastic if Zalatoris could win due to going through a bad back injury. Clark kept his chances of a win alive due to a back nine of 33 which included an eagle at 12. Clark will start the final round two shots behind the leaders on -8.

Matsuyama and Henley are still in touching distance of leaders and will both start Sunday’s round on -7. In 2023 Harris English finish tied second in Arnold Palmer Invitational and has continued to impress as the American will start day four on -6.

Sam Burns and Max Homa are also tied eight on -5. Justin Thomas is just outside the top 10 on -4. Seamus Power finished with a excellent birdie to shoot -3 round of 68. Power will start the final round in tied 25th on -1.
