Thunderstorms with lightning significantly affected the progress of the third round of the ISCO Championship yesterday, a tournament co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour taking place in Louisville. After long suspensions to avoid risks, none of the last matches of the day could be completed. Chan Kim (-9), who started as the leader, had to stop when playing the 13th hole due to lack of light. So the players fighting for victory will have a long and intense Sunday ahead, starting at eight in the morning, local time, completing the third round before heading out to play the fourth and final one.
The American of South Korean descent, who reached the weekend with no less than a five-shot lead in the standings, got stuck on ‘moving day’. When the horn sounded and play was stopped for good, he was two over par for the day, with three birdies and a single bogey, and had seen his lead completely wiped out thanks to the great performance of Paul Peterson (-10), who was five under for the day and still has three holes left to close his card. Luke List (-7), who managed to complete his round with 65 strokes, also joined the fight, as did David Skinns (-7), with two under for the day and three flags ahead.
For the three Spaniards who made the cut, Saturday was reasonably positive. Especially for Iván Cantero (-2), who signed a great round of 67 strokes, three under par for the day with an eagle, three birdies, and two bogeys, climbing 35 positions on the leaderboard to break into the top 20 and dream of a great result. Just like Manuel Elvira (-3), who remains in the top 15 of the standings playing level par for the day. Ángel Ayora (PAR), meanwhile, stopped Friday’s bleeding and delivered a level par round of 70 strokes to stay among the top 30, with chances this Sunday to look upwards. A final round seeking a champion from early on.
