And to add to the drama, he needed this chip to fall in for birdie on the 18th to secure the sub-60 round.
Quade Cummins and Harry Hillier shared the lead at 13 under entering Saturday’s third round, but before they could even tee off, they both found themselves two behind the new solo leader, Creighton, who started the day at 4 under, nine shots back, and finished 15 under to enter Sunday firmly in contention.
