Chicago (USA), Apr 9 (EFE).- Brooks Koepka maintained his lead at the Augusta Masters this Sunday after the third round, with Spanish Jon Rahm two shots away, on an intense day at Augusta National in the one that had to close the return postponed due to rain on Saturday and in which the fourth round will be held in the American afternoon.
The balances did not change after the third round, with Koepka and Rahm delivering cards of 73 shots each, one over par, while fighting in very difficult weather conditions.
The wind and heavy rain on Saturday made their round difficult and forced them to leave it halfway to resume it this Sunday early in the morning, with the field affected by water.
Rahm suffered with the ‘putt’ this Sunday and that cost him two ‘bogeys’ on 13 and 16, as well as preventing him from completing some good holes with a ‘birdie’.
This yes, the one of Barrika recovered a blow of margin thanks to a ‘bogey’ of Koepka in the 17.
This Sunday opened with the news of the withdrawal of Tiger Woods, forced to resign due to plantar fasciitis.
The Norwegian Viktor Hovland was the most brilliant this Sunday and his -2, with five consecutive ‘birdies’ between the 11th and 15th, allowed him to place himself one shot behind Rahm (-8).
