Blades Brown fired a five-under 67 in Round 3 to share the 54-hole lead with John Pak at the Korn Ferry Tour’s Club Car Championship at The Landings Golf & Athletic Club.
After 54 holes at The Landings Golf & Athletic Club in Savannah, Georgia, the Korn Ferry Tour’s Club Car Championship has two players at the top — but they got there by very different routes. Blades Brown carded a steady 67 on Saturday, collecting six birdies against a single bogey to move into a share of the lead on a total of 200. John Pak, who had opened with a brilliant 61, signed for a one-under 71 in the third round — two birdies and a bogey — to stay level with Brown at the same total. Heading into Sunday’s final round, neither man has separated himself from the other, setting up a tense conclusion.
Just one shot back, Davis Lamb sits third at 201 after a round of 69, featuring five birdies and two bogeys. Joseph Bramlett is a further stroke adrift in fourth place after his own 69, where six birdies were partially offset by three bogeys. Cooper Dossey, who posted one of the best rounds of the day with a 67, moved to fifth at 203. Dossey eagled the par-five third hole and added six birdies, though three bogeys kept the card from being clean.
Docherty the biggest mover on the Korn Ferry Tour leaderboard
One of the most eye-catching performances of Round 3 came from Alistair Docherty, who matched Brown and Dossey with a five-under 67. Six birdies and only one bogey propelled him from 66th place all the way to a tie for 12th — a gain of 54 positions. Ben Taylor of England was another significant mover, rising 29 spots to a tie for 19th after a composed 69 featuring four birdies and just one bogey. His fellow Briton, Scot Russell Knox, also posted a 69 to reach that same cluster at tied 19th. Caleb VanArragon moved up 36 positions into a tie for 30th with his own three-under round.
John Marshall Butler carded a tidy 68 — six birdies against two bogeys — to sit tied sixth at 204, alongside Noah Goodwin and Nick Infanti. Cooper Musselman also shot 68 to share ninth place, while Jeff Overton produced a noteworthy card that included an eagle on the par-four 11th hole, offsetting three bogeys for a two-under 70 and a tie for 12th.
The par-four ninth hole proved the most demanding test of the day, playing nearly half a shot over par on average across the 79-man field, with 36 bogeys and only six birdies recorded. The par-five third was the easiest hole, yielding 36 birdies and just five bogeys as players looked to capitalize on the scoring opportunity.
Hole-in-one lights up Round 3 at the Club Car Championship
The round’s most dramatic single moment came courtesy of Drew Nesbitt, who made a hole-in-one on the 17th hole — one of four eagles on the day across the field. At the other end of the spectrum, Nick Gabrelcik endured the most difficult afternoon, carding an 82 that included double bogeys on holes 15, 17 and 18 to fall to tied 78th. Germany’s Jeremy Paul also struggled with three double bogeys on his way to an 80 and a tie for 78th.
With Brown and Pak locked together at the top and a clutch of Americans within striking distance heading into Sunday, the final round of this Korn Ferry Tour event promises a fiercely competitive finish.
