TOUR Championship - FedExCup Playoffs
ATLANTA - FedExCup leader Patrick Cantlay (-20) will take his third career 54-hole lead/co-lead after posting a third-round (67) while Jon Rahm seeks to become the second consecutive FedExCup champion to win while ranked No. 1 in the world.
Cantlay recorded six birdies on the day, good for a two-shot lead entering Sunday’s final round. He had reached 21-under for the week with a birdie on the par-4 10th to assume a four-shot lead before bogeys on 11, 14 and 16 cut it to one shot as he birdied the 18th hole to finish at 20-under.
Justin Thomas recorded his only bogey of the day with a three-putt on the par-5 18th for a third-round (65), matching Saturday’s low round. He’s in third place, five back.
Sungjae Im has now carded 493 total birdies for the 2020-21 PGA TOUR season, tying the all-time record since 1980.
