Brandt Snedeker is 18 holes away from his second win in 2016. Through three rounds at the RBC Canadian Open, Snedeker leads at nine under par in Oakville, Ontario.

Canadian amateur Jared du Toit and Dustin Johnson are tied for second place at eight under after Saturday:



Much of Snedeker's third-round success came from a streak of five straight birdies on the front nine. After carding a par on No. 1, he proceeded to gain five shots and surge up the leaderboard. By the day's end, the 35-year-old finished 15 spots higher than where he began the day.

Wheatcroft made the turn at three under for the round after collecting one bogey and four birdies.

The 38-year-old has some work to do if he's to come out on top Sunday, but Wheatcroft played his way into contention in the third round.
