The best scoring of the week was available on Saturday at the Country Club of Jackson as overall scores were nearly a full stroke better than Friday. Many players made a move up the leaderboard and Keegan Bradley led that charge with the round of the day, an 8-under 64.
Mark Hubbard would finish Saturday just one shot short of Bradley on the round, but passed him on the overall leaderboard. In fact, Hubbard passed everyone and takes a one-shot lead into Sunday as he seeks his first TOUR win. Overnight leader MacKenzie Hughes is just one shot back of Hubbard after a 4-under round of his own. Those two will pair up in the final tee time with their chasers two shots further back of Hughes. However, 10 players are within five of the lead.
If scores continue to be easy to come by in the final round, there will be pressure on that final group. They certainly aren’t established winners or players used to being in this position as Hughes is seeking his first win since 2016 and Hubbard is looking for his first victory. We’ll see if there is anyone who sticks out to chase them down in the final round.
