Day 3 at the CIMB Classic saw some top performances from the best golfers in the world, highlighted by some big risers in the leaderboard.

Bo Van Pelt's round of 62 helped shoot him up to the top of the leaderboard, while Chris Kirk's 63 also made him a major riser.

Behind the leaders is Chris Kirk, who shot a stellar 63 in the third round. Brandon de Jonge and Jbe' Kruger round out the top-five.

 

Tiger Watch



Tiger Woods was right in the thick of things after nine in the third round. He started with a front-nine 30 and set himself up nicely to finish the day high on the leaderboard.

Unfortunately, Tiger finished the back nine three-over par, pushing himself back to 10th. His double bogey on the par-three 14 was the back-breaker here.
