Buck Brumlow led Georgia at four-under on the day through the midpoint of the round. The junior ended the tournament tied for 15^th on the individual leaderboard at two-under 208, notching his third top-20 finish of his career.

Connor Creasy shot two-over during the third round, ending tied for 43^rd at six-over 216, while Carter Loflin shot three-over for a 58^th-place finish at nine-over 219. Caleb Manuel had the non-counting score of the day at six-over.
