The importance of this event is immense for the careers of the players who are on the edge to lose their playing card or privileges to play on tour.

Moving Day saw the brilliance of Mackenzie Hughes the Canadian Golfer who went with the lowest score of 60 in Round 3. He carded 8 birdies and one Eagle to tie his career low score on PGA tour.

Ludvig Aberg is favourite to win RSM classic as he is in good form and has been knocking on the door from quite a time to register his first PGA tour win. He was T10 on WWT at EL Cardonal course. I think this is right time for him to register his first victory and grab 1.5 million USD prize to end his season on high note.
