Valspar Championship Round 3 Recap: Moving Day Madness

Round 3 at the Valspar Championship lived up to its "Moving Day" reputation, with several players making big strides while others faltered under the pressure of the Copperhead Course.

Leaderboard Shifts and Key Performances

• Jordan Spieth (67, -6 total) put himself firmly in contention with a Saturday charge. After an up-and-down start to the week, the three-time major champion found his groove, firing a 67 to climb the leaderboard.

• Jacob Bridgeman (70, -7 total) continues his steady play after an impressive opening 67. A 70 in Round 3 keeps him in the mix heading into Sunday.

• Shane Lowry (70, -8 total) has been one of the most consistent players in the field, following up his second-round 67 with a solid 70. He remains a serious threat for the title.

• Victor Hovland (69, -9 total) continues to showcase his ball-striking prowess, putting himself in a strong position to make a run at the title.

• Corey Conners (69, -7 total) quietly put together another solid round and remains within striking distance.

Notable Struggles

• Xander Schauffele (75, -3 total) stumbled with a disappointing 75 after a strong first two rounds. His Saturday struggles may have taken him out of contention.

• Tom Kim (74, -4 total) also lost ground after an impressive second-round 66. His inconsistent play could cost him a shot at the title.

• Keith Mitchell (74, -1 total) saw his hopes fade after an opening 67 had him near the top of the leaderboard.
