RUSSELL KNOX DROPS DOWN LEADERBOARD IN CANADIAN OPEN

Russell Knox plummeted 32 places down the leaderboard - from T11 to T43 - on the back of a third-round, three-over-par 73 in the RBC Canadian Open at Hamilton Golf and Country Club, Ancaster, Ontario.
Knox is now on three-under 207 after 54 holes, needing to shoot very low on the last day to get the kind of payslip he was looking for as he seeks to climb the US PGA Tour money table into the zone where his playing rights for next season are assured.
Knox had an erratic round with the highlights birdies at the first, second and fifth, the definite lowlight a double bogey 7 at the long 17th plus bogeys at the fourth, seventh, ninth and 18th in halves of 37-36.
Americans are dominating the top placings of the Canadian Open with Robert Garrigus leading the way after scores of 64-66-64 for 16-under 194. He leads by one from William McGirt (63-66-66).
Englishman Brian Davis had the kind of third-round figures Russell Knox was seeking - a 65 for 202 and a share of 15 place.
Open champion Ernie Els missed the halfway cut.
