Russell Knox missed the cut for the second week in a row on the US PGA Tour with a total of three-under-par 213 for three rounds of the weather-hit Humana Challenge at La Quinta, California.
The Inverness exile, who has lived at Jacksonville Beach, Florida since his four years as a student at Jacksonville University, had rounds of 72, 66 and 75.
In a tournament where the scoring has been almost absurdly low, Knox had no chance of staying alive with a 75 (bogeys at the long sixth, eighth and short 15th and no birdies at all).
To qualify for the fourth round, a player had to shoot six-under-par 210 or better, and that's phenomenally low scoring, even for the US PGA Tour.
Englishman Brian Davis also missed ouot with rounds of 70, 72 and 72 for 214.
But Scotland's Martin Laird is again in the thick of things. He has scored 66, 69 and 67 for 14-under-par 202 and joint 11th place going into the final round.
England's Gary Chrisitan in T37 on 207 with scores of 66-68-73.
Phil Mickelson beat the cut but only with one shot to spare after rounds o f 74, 69 and 66 for 209.
American Mark Wilson led the field after 54 holes by three shots with a 21-under-par tally of 195 (66-62-67).
His nearest rivals were Zach Johnson, Robert Garrigus, Ben Crane and Brandt Snedeker, all on 198.
