Fifty-six players were still on the course when darkness suspended the second round.
His final birdie came on the eighth hole when he made a 10-footer to move to 10 under on his round.
A stroke further back at 13 under is former world number one Luke Donald after he recorded a third-round 64, alongside Jim Furyk (67) and Kevin Na (67). “These little misses are ones I can live with, I’m reaching the green all right and that’s leading to the score”. “They’re not following the trajectory I’m looking for, and there were only one or two good shots today if I have to choose”. His took a double-bogey 5 on No. 7 but finished at 65 and was six shots back in a tie for sixth with Billy Horschel (64), Hideki Matsuyama (68) of Japan and Graeme McDowell (64) of Northern Ireland.
“I’m in good position for the weekend”, Na said.
Despite the qualification period running through to this week’s Made In Denmark tournament, Rory McIlroy, Danny Willett, Henrik Stenson, Chris Wood, Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose, Rafa Cabrera Bello, Andy Sullivan and Matt Fitzpatrick all secured their places with a tournament to spare.
“Something seems odd that I could move up the leaderboard while I wasn’t playing in a way to put me here”, Matsuyama said.
With Glover having a chance at matching Kim’s round or even going lower, the course has yielded plenty of birdies.
Davis Love III, the tournament victor past year at age 51, is sidelined following hip surgery. Snedeker secured a spot in the top-10 of the FedEx Cup standings with his high finish. “Just been a whirlwind of emotions this week and I’ve really felt good about my game and really love the direction my game is headed”. The U.S. Olympian won the 2013 event for his first tour title. He will likely have a few more chances to impress captain Davis Love III as Love doesn’t have to make his final captain’s pick until the end of September. The final pick comes two weeks later after the Tour Championship.
