Matti Schmid slips to seventh after round three in Mexico. Rosenmüller and Paul climb the leaderboard with strong rounds.
After leading the field on Friday, Germany’s Matti Schmid fell back to seventh place on Saturday at the World Wide Technology Championship on the PGA Tour. Schmid opened his third round with a birdie but immediately gave up the lead with a bogey on the second hole, ending his bogey-free streak. Despite adding more birdies, two additional bogeys led to a round of 71. He now sits at 19-under-par, unable to match his earlier rounds of 64 and 63.
South African Garrick Higgo surged into the lead with a stunning 61 on Saturday, jumping from 15th to first place. Higgo is now 22-under-par, just ahead of four Americans. Carson Young carded a 63 and trails by one shot at 21-under. Trevor Cone, Chad Ramey, and Ben Griffin are tied for third at 20-under-par.
