Clubhouse leader at the Palmetto Championship after inclement weather suspended play on Day 3 at Congaree, Chesson Hadley will be looking to end a winless drought of 7 years, 3 months, 4 days since the 2014 Puerto Rico Open on the PGA Tour.
At 14-under after 17 holes, Hadley leads by four shots over Harris English, who is 10-under after 17 holes. The two are followed by Garrick Higgo at 8-under 207 and World No 1 Dustin Johnson at 8-under through 17 holes.
He would be the fifth player this season to end a winless drought of at least seven years. Other players in this category are Stewart Cink (11 years – 2009 The Open Championship/2020 Fortinet Championship), Brian Gay (7 years – 2013 The American Express/2020 Bermuda Championship), Martin Laird (7 years – 2013 Valero Texas Open/2020 Shriners Hospitals for Children Open), and Harris English (7 years – 2013 Mayakoba Golf Classic/2021 Sentry Tournament of Champions).

After recording three eagles in his first 792 holes this season, Tyrrell Hatton made three eagles in round three (Nos. 4, 15 and 16), marking his most in a round on Tour and the second player this season with three eagles in a round (Matthew Wolff/Shriners Hospitals for Children Open/R3); second player with back-to-back eagles this season (Carlos Ortiz/Sony Open in Hawaii/R4/Nos. 9-10).
Anirban Lahiri carded a 1-under 70 for a tie at the 45th place.
