On the third day, Hayden Buckley had a smooth start with an eye-catching eagle point, although he caught an eagle on the next hole, but Buckley continued to "correct" with a second eagle point of the day. In the second half of the round, the 26-year-old golfer played firmly and scored 3 more birdies to close the third round with -6 strokes, thereby reaching the top of the table with a total score of 195 (-15) strokes after 54 holes and leading by 2 strokes compared to the "top chasing".
Hayden Buckley is facing a great opportunity to win the first title of his career. After 2 years on the PGA Tour, Buckley has never led a round. However, up to now, it is difficult to say whether the throne belongs to Buckley or not, when in the previous week, Collin Morikawa entered the final round with a difference of 7 strokes, but still could not stop Jon Rahm to the top of glory.
Looking at this week's event chart, 9 out of the top 15 are currently without a title on the Tour. The top 2 position is currently shared by 3 players Chris Kirk (leading the first 2 rounds), Ben Taylor and David Lipsky - a golfer from California who won his young career competing on the Asian Tour.

After round 2, many prominent names suddenly failed to pass the (-2) stroke and had to stop early at this week's tournament, including the first round leader Jordan Spieth, 2 Korean stars are Im Sung Jae, Tom Kim, along with Gary Woodland.
