Knowles’ 7-under 65 marks low score of the day, top spot on leaderboard In This Article
AUBURN, Alabama Slow and steady wins the race, or at least it has paid off thus far for Philip Knowles, who shot a 7-under 65 in his third round to put him at 18-under overall and in the top spot after 54 holes of the Auburn University Club Invitational. Knowles has a one-shot advantage on Bryson Nimmer and two over Alex Smalley as they head into the final round Saturday.
“Overall, today was really good. I made a lot of birdies the last couple of days but was just plagued by some squares on the scorecard,” he said of his bogeys. “I kept it clean today, which was nice. I’ve improved every day and this golf course sets up really well for me.”
