Min Woo Lee

Two Aussies in top three at Players Champs as course record smashed, epic ace stuns.

He picked up a brilliant chip-in birdie on the 17th to card a two-under 70, moving him to six-under overall in a tie for 14th - but still eight shots off the lead. But things tailed off from there, with a bogey on the par-three 13th and par-five 16th. But when the third round action began there was disaster for the overnight leader, American underdog Chad Ramey. He ended up with a quadruple bogey seven on the iconic Island Green 17th hole, falling off the lead quickly. It was the second ace of the weekend at the Island Green, the first time that has ever happened in tournament history. Great attitude, as well, which I think is just as powerful as his game. It was a remarkable turnaround after hitting an opening-round 78. He concluded his brilliant back nine with a birdie on the 18th to card a five-under 67, putting him four shots behind Scheffler and two behind his countryman Lee. A stunning 15 players shot five-under 67s or better, including a new course record 10-under 62. His eagle was a brilliant chip-in, and he continued his strong day with pars until the 17th, where he managed a birdie to move to four under for the round and nine under overall. Lee added a clutch 34-foot par for birdie on the fourth, picked up another birdie on the sixth, and nailed the par-five ninth hole to pick up another birdie on the back of his exceptional iron play. His tee shot on the 11th found the bunker, but he somehow still managed to pick up a birdie on the par-five hole, and continued his brilliant run the following hole with yet another birdie.

The younger brother of two-time women's major winner Minjee was only an 11th hour addition to golf's unofficial fifth major.
