LOOKS LIKE KNAPP TIME ON THE PAR FIVE FIFTH 

Jake Knapp is on the par 5 fifth in two from 284 yards to tee up an eagle putt from 40 feet. He doesn’t get a three but has a tap in birdie to get to -19 as he picks up a shot on the leader Pendrith as so does Ben Kohles who has just drained a second successive birdie. 

TEENAGER KRIS KIM CONTINUES TO IMPRESS

English teenage amateur Kim,16, continues to impress and justify his sponsors’ invite. The teenager made the cut and is tied 50th at -9 in total and -1 today through six holes.

PENDRITH WITH A CHANCE TO EXTEND HIS LEAD ON THE FOURTH

Pendrith’s nearest rival Knapp has missed the green at the par 3 fourth while the leader has hit it. The Canadian has a chance to open up a three-shot lead here with Knapp facing a test to save par but he makes his three as Ben Kohles drained his birdie putt and Pendrith settles for par. 

BIG BREAK FOR PENDRITH ON THE THIRD

What a stroke of good luck for leader Pendrith on the third. After finding the fairway off the tee, his 164 yard approach didn’t make the green after leaking right but his ball dug into the soft bank on landing and stayed there rather than roll back towards water. He was then able to save par and remains two ahead of Jake Knapp.

RAFAEL CAMPOS IS ON FIRE IN THE FINAL ROUND

One player making a major move is Rafael Campos who is up into tied fifth on -16 after a -6 round today. Campos is -6 through nine holes having started on the 10th tee. 

LEADERS WILL HAVE MORE BIRDIE LOOKS ON SECOND

All three members of the final group are on the second green in regulation and have a look at birdie on the 446 yard par four. Pendrith was last to play after outdriving Kohles by 34 yards. But none of the trio are able to make their putts and they move on to the third. 

LEADERS UNDERWAY IN FINAL GROUP

The leaders have just teed off with Taylor Pendrith finding the fairway along with Jake Knapp and Ben Kohles, who all find the short grass before Pendrith fires in a close approach to tee up a birdie look which he converts from six foot.
