Golf pro Sepp Straka can continue to hope for a successful title defense at the Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens (US state of Florida). Last year’s Austrian winner played a strong round of 66 at the $8.4 million PGA tournament on Saturday and moved up to eighth place with a total of 203 strokes (seven under par). The Austrian is six strokes behind leading American Chris Kirk, three strokes short of the podium.
Straka got six birdies with two bogeys, moving up 14 places. The 29-year-old became the first red-white-red golfer to win a PGA tournament in Palm Beach Gardens in 2022. Matthias Schwab also showed in Florida on the third round. The Styrian managed a 67, he is in 39th place with 208 strokes (two under par). “That was another good lap today, and I’m happy with it,” said the 28-year-old.
