Waterford’s S\u00e9amus Power fired a sensational third round eight-under-par 63 to leap into contention at the 3M Open in Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Power, who started the day in a tie for 24th, went into the clubhouse with a share of the lead, although Jackson Koivun’s brilliant 61 gave the PGA Tour newcomer a three-shot lead at 20 under par.<\/p>\n

Koivun, in his just third tournament as a professional, holds a three-shot lead on Ben Kohles and Argentina’s Emiliano Grillo going to Sunday’s final round at TPC Twin Cities.<\/p>\n

Michael Kim, who carded an incredible 59 on Friday<\/a>, finished on 15-under par.<\/p>\n

The bogey-free round from the Irishman started with birdies on the third and fourth holes, before adding ones at the seventh and ninth to make it to the turn in four-under.<\/p>\n

Power closed strongly with birdies at 12, 14, 16 and the final hole, the par five 18th, to temporarily sit on top of the leaderboard at 14-under-par, while he dropped down to a tie for ninth at the end of play.<\/p>\n

FULL LEADERBOARD<\/a><\/p>\n

He shares that place with three others including world number one Scottie Scheffler, who shot a 64.<\/p>\n

The four time major winner mixed seven birdies and an eagle with two bogeys, to join the logjam just below the summit.<\/p>\n

Competing in the tournament for the first time, he posted an eight under score on the backside, highlighted by an eagle with a chip from the greenside rough on the par-4 16th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Waterford’s S\u00e9amus Power fired a sensational third round eight-under-par 63 to leap into contention at the 3M Open…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":711245,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-711244","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/711244","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=711244"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/711244\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/711245"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=711244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=711244"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=711244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
