Genesis Invitational Round 3 Recap: Aberg’s Ace, Tight Leaderboard & Moving Day Drama

 Moving day at The Genesis Invitational delivered all the excitement and unpredictability we expected, highlighted by Ludvig Aberg’s hole-in-one on the 3rd hole, adding a thrilling moment to the tournament. With just 18 holes remaining, the leaderboard remains stacked, setting the stage for a dramatic final round at Torrey Pines South.

Aberg’s Ace & Solid Play Continue

Aberg made the highlight reel in round 3 with a stunning hole-in-one, but he didn’t stop there. Backing up his second-round 66, Aberg posted a solid 70 in round 3, keeping himself in contention.

The Contenders: Positioning for a Sunday Charge

Several league selections put themselves in prime position heading into the final round:

• Patrick Cantlay (68) – A strong performance saw him rise up the leaderboard.
• Tony Finau (67) – One of the best rounds of the day, showing he’s ready to make a move.
• Hideki Matsuyama (68) – Consistency is key, and Hideki is finding form at the right time.
• Justin Thomas (69) – Still lurking, a big Sunday performance could put him in the mix.

Slipping Back: Tough Day for Some

Not everyone had an easy ride in round 3. Scottie Scheffler (76) had an uncharacteristically rough day, tumbling down the leaderboard after steady rounds of 70-67. Rory McIlroy (74) and Russell Henley (75) also struggled to gain momentum.

Final Round Storylines to Watch

• Can Aberg ride the momentum from his hole-in-one and make a final-round charge?
• Will Finau and Cantlay capitalize on their strong Saturday rounds?
• Can Scheffler bounce back after his worst round of the week?

It’s shaping up to be a thrilling Sunday finish, and with no cut this week, everyone still has a chance to make a move!

Stay tuned for the final round recap—who will take home the Genesis Invitational title?
