'One of us': Sudarshan Yellamaraju low Canadian after 3 rounds at RBC Canadian Open
On Saturday, Sudarshan Yellamaraju shot a 5-under 65 at the RBC Canadian Open, reaching 10-under par and tying for seventh place, three strokes behind leader Jackson Suber.
The 24-year-old Mississauga, Ont., native has made the cut in 14 of 17 starts this season, learning golf via YouTube videos and currently ranking 48th in the FedEx Cup standings.
Bookending his round with an eagle on No. 2 and a birdie on No. 18, Yellamaraju drew growing crowds throughout the day in Caledon, Ont., yet remained focused despite the audible support.
As the lowest-scoring Canadian, Yellamaraju leads the remaining nine in the field, surpassing established players Taylor Pendrith and Nick Taylor while projecting a four-spot rise in FedEx Cup rankings.
Entering Sunday's final round at TPC Toronto three strokes back, the first-time contender seeks his first PGA Tour victory, with the winner claiming US$1.764-million at the US$9.8-million tournament.
