RUSSELL KNOX HAS IT ALL TO DO IN FINAL FLORIDA ROUND


Russell Knox had a third-round par 72 in the Children's Hospitals Classic over the Magnolia Course at Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
Par rounds, unfortunately, are not what the Inverness-born player wants to improve his chances of keeping his US PGA Tour playing rights for next season.
He needs more rounds like his opening-day six-under 66.
Back to back 72s have left Russell in joint 32nd place at six-under-par 210. That's not a bad effort in such highly competitive company but the fact of the matter is that the Jacksonville Beach-based Scot needs to win in excess of $220,000 from this last counting tournament of the year towards the money table to headed the man currently in 125th place - Billy Mayfair who has won over $600,000 this year.
Knox is in 156th position in the money table and only the top 125 will keep their players' cards for another year.
Russell has won $399,784.
His stats in this tournament are interesting.
Round 1 - 6 birdies, 0 bogeys
Round 2 - 1 birdie, 1 bogey.
Round 3 - 2 birdies, 2 bogeys.
At the sharp end of the tournament, Charlie Beljan, who ended up in hospital overnight Friday-Saturday for a heart check-up - he's only in his late 20s - after feeling so unwell during his second round he "thought he was dying."
Well, Beljan is still alive and kicking after a third-round 71 to following scores of 68 and 64. He is on 13-under-par 203 and leads by two from Brian Gay, Josh Teater and Charlie Wi.
