On a day when big names took center stage (Jordan Spieth in Australia, Henrik Stenson in Dubai), it was a little-known Canadian named Mackenzie Hughes who maintained his one-stroke lead stateside at the RSM Classic in Sea Island Georgia. Hughes overcame a triple-bogey with five birdies and shot a 70 to take a narrow one-stroke margin over Camilo Villegas, Billy Horschel and Cheng Tsung Pan into the final round.
Hughes also led going into Round 3. His triple-bogey is his only hole over par for the week. It came on the 11th hole. It was ugly (most triple-bogeys are, though), but he closed with three birdies over the last seven holes to get his round back under par and give himself the Sunday lead.
