DETROIT – A wayward approach to the 14th green that nearly landed in Flint largely summed up Cameron Champ’s disastrous third round at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
Champ surged into Saturday’s final pairing thanks to a second-round 65, and the Tour rookie appeared in position to contend for his second victory of the season. But those plans quickly went awry, as he got caught under the lip of a bunker on the par-3 fifth hole en route to double bogey and ultimately was 10 shots worse than the previous day, shooting a 3-over 75 that beat only two players among the 71 who made the cut.
