The 40 players who survived Saturday's 36-hole cut played 36 holes on Sunday. The morning third round was played in rainy conditions and the final round a under sunny sky. Taylor was the lone player in the third round to break par. His 70 vaulted him into a 4-shot lead with 18 holes to go.

For the record Taylor shot 70-69-70-76 and Carmona 69-69-76-71 to tie at 1-over-par 285. Taylor put his second shot on the par-5 first to within two-feet for a tap-in eagle. Carmona's second shot found the right front bunker. He blasted out to within 30 feet and two-putted for par.
