Connors shoots 63 T2 at RBC Heritage, Hughes, Hadwin in contention. Live round 3 scoring

RBC Heritage leaderboard https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2020/rbc-heritage/leaderboard.html

On a day of low scoring on the Harbour Town course at the RBC Heritage, Corey Connors fired a bogey free 8 birdies on route to an -8 63 and at -11, he is just a shot off the lead of -12 held by Webb Simpson 65 65 130.

Joining him at -8 is Mac Hughes T11 66 68 and Adam Hadwin who recovered from an opening 72 with -6 65 to stand T45 -5. Hughes spoiled a great round with a double bogey 6 at the 8th and a bogey 5 at the 18th.

This event is usually played in April, but the move to June in the schedule shuffle, means little rough and the soft conditions and little wind leaves Harbour Town defenseless, the only player to shoot over par and make the cut was 1st round leader Mark Hubbard 64 72.

Rory McIlroy opened with +1 72 but recovered with -6 65 T45 -5. Bryson DeChambeau has muscled his way to 67 64 T2 with Connors.

With the cut falling at -4, Michael Gligic 72 70 E, David Hearn 75 69 +2 and Roger Sloan 70 73 +2 did not make the weekend.

Lots of big names just made the cut, which means they will have early tee times with perfect greens on Saturday. Xander Schauffele -4, Justin Thomas -5, Rory -5, Bubba -5, Jon Rahm -5.

With this being the scheduled week originally for the RBC Canadian Open, it seems poetic that Corey and Mac at least will be in the mix at RBC's other event !!
