Published Jan 28, 2023 10:52 GMT

Sam Ryder maintained his lead even after the third round at the Farmers Insurance Open. The tournament is underway at the historic Torrey Pines Golf Course from January 25 to 28.

Ryder is leading the tally by two shots ahead of current World No. 3, Jon Rahm. After the third round, the American golfer finished with a score deficit of 12.

Ryder made two birdies on the second and sixth holes and extended his lead after the third day. Fans jumped into the comments section to say:

Jon Rahm is doing his best to beat the leader. The Spaniard finished at 116 after the first round, and in the second, he jumped to 14. After the third round, Rahm secured second place and is on his way to clinching the third tournament of the year. Rahm made five birdies, one bogey, and one eagle in the third round.

Tony Finau also made huge progress after the third round. He holds third position, two shots behind Jon Rahm.

However, last year's runner-up, Will Zalatoris, could not make the cut and was eliminated from the tournament on Friday, while the 2022 champion, Luke List, secured the 39th position with a score deficit of one. Luke made three birdies and four bogeys in the third round.
