The first groups off are through 14 holes while the final group is through six holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Robert MacIntyre leads the pack at 15-under through six holes in his third round. He made five pars and one birdie at the par-4 fifth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ludvig \u00c5berg trails two strokes behind, having also played six holes. He Entered the third round four back from MacIntyre but now sits two back after recording birdies on Nos. 1, 2 and 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Five of the nine players who currently sit 10-under or better have not yet qualified for next week’s Masters Tournament. That includes Matt Wallace (T3\/-11), Ryo Hisatsune (T3\/-11), Chris Kirk (T5\/-10), Chandler Phillips (T5\/-10) and Tony Finau (T5\/-10).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wallace’s third round was highlighted by eagles at Nos. 8 and 14; marks his third career round on the Tour with two eagles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leaderboard<\/strong> (Suncoast Classic)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Partial Third-Round Leaderboard<\/strong> (Texas Open)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jeremy Gandon and Ian Gilligan are tied for the lead at 16-under par through three rounds of the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11264,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[58],"class_list":["post-11263","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international","tag-golf"],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Jeremy-Gandon.jpg",2131,1126,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Jeremy-Gandon-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Jeremy-Gandon-300x159.jpg",300,159,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Jeremy-Gandon-768x406.jpg",640,338,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Jeremy-Gandon-1024x541.jpg",640,338,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Jeremy-Gandon-1536x812.jpg",1536,812,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Jeremy-Gandon-2048x1082.jpg",2048,1082,true],"morenews-large":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Jeremy-Gandon-825x575.jpg",825,575,true],"morenews-medium":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Jeremy-Gandon-590x410.jpg",590,410,true]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"International<\/a>","tag_info":"International","comment_count":"0","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Jeremy-Gandon.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11263","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11263"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11263\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11265,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11263\/revisions\/11265"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11264"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Pos.<\/strong><\/td> Player<\/strong><\/td> R1<\/strong><\/td> R2<\/strong><\/td> R3<\/strong><\/td> Total<\/strong><\/td><\/tr> T1<\/td> Jeremy Gandon<\/td> 67<\/td> 65<\/td> 65<\/td> 197 (-16)<\/td><\/tr> <\/td> Ian Gilligan<\/td> 64<\/td> 63<\/td> 70<\/td> 197 (-16)<\/td><\/tr> T3<\/td> Augusto N\u00fa\u00f1ez<\/td> 66<\/td> 66<\/td> 66<\/td> 198 (-15)<\/td><\/tr> <\/td> Jay Card III<\/td> 63<\/td> 67<\/td> 68<\/td> 198 (-15)<\/td><\/tr> T5<\/td> Four Players Tied<\/em><\/td> <\/td> <\/td> <\/td> 199 (-14)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Pos.<\/strong><\/td> Player<\/strong><\/td> R1<\/strong><\/td> R2<\/strong><\/td> R3<\/strong><\/td> Total<\/strong><\/td><\/tr> 1<\/td> Robert MacIntyre<\/td> 66<\/td> 64<\/td> -1 thru 6<\/td> -15<\/td><\/tr> 2<\/td> Ludvig \u00c5berg<\/td> 67<\/td> 67<\/td> -3 thru 6<\/td> -13<\/td><\/tr> T3<\/td> Matt Wallace<\/td> 71<\/td> 69<\/td> -7 thru 14<\/td> -11<\/td><\/tr> T3<\/td> Ryo Hisatsune<\/td> 68<\/td> 68<\/td> -3 thru 8<\/td> -11<\/td><\/tr> T5<\/td> Five players tied<\/em><\/td> <\/td> <\/td> <\/td> -10<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
