PGA TOUR: Birdie Finish Keeps Yu In Title Contention At Cognizant Classic
Yu birdied the final hole in his third round at PGA National Resort (The Champion) on Saturday for his only second gain of the day, which left him on 10-under and three back of co-leaders, Ireland's Shane Lowry (66), England's David Skinns (66) and American Austin Eckroat (68), as he chases a maiden PGA TOUR victory. Compatriot C.T. Pan overcame a double bogey to also card a 70 and lie on 9-under as he continued his fine form following a T3 in Mexico last weekend while Korea’s K.H. Lee returned a 70 for tied 11th on 8-under, the PGA said in a report on its official website.
The 25-year-old Yu knows his putter will need to get hot on Sunday if he is to challenge the leaders for his career breakthrough. Although he hit 15 greens in regulation, he failed to capitalise on several opportunities, taking 33 putts despite starting strongly with a 60-foot birdie conversion on the fifth. "It was a solid day today. Obviously, I didn't make a lot of putts. Just hitting the ball pretty nicely. I just missed a lot of putts," said Yu, who dropped his lone bogey on the 14th before making a two-putt birdie on the par-5 18th hole. I'll work on my putting right now and hopefully get it going tomorrow," he was quoted as saying by PGA TOUR.
