McDowell eight behind in Las Vegas

Graeme McDowell

Graeme McDowell is eight strokes behind leaders Bryson DeChambeau and Peter Uihlein heading into the final round of the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas.

While Seamus Power had a bad week from tee to green, carding a brace of 75s to miss the three-under par cut by 11 strokes, McDowell followed rounds of 70 and 67 with a third round 68 to move up to tied 27th on eight-under.

DeChambeau shot a six-under 65 and Uihlein a 68 to lead by one stroke on 16-under par from Lucas Glover, who made two eagles, seven birdies and a bogey in a 10-under 61.

Defending champion Patrick Cantlay shot a 63 to share fourth spot on 14-under, two strokes off the lead, with Robert Streb (68) with last week’s Sanderson Farms Championship winner Cameron Champ three behind in sixth after a 66.
