Round 3 Highlights: ISCO Championship (Golf Explained Simply!)

Status: LIVE | Written by Staff | 1 Min Read | Updated 1 Day Ago

What is the ISCO Championship?

The ISCO Championship is a professional golf tournament. This year is special because it marks the fifth year in a row that it is being "co-sanctioned."

Important Point: "Co-sanctioned" simply means two big golf leagues—the DP World Tour (mostly in Europe) and the PGA TOUR (mostly in the USA)—are working together to officially run the event.

It is also one of the final stops on the PGA TOUR summer schedule. Players are competing hard to earn FedExCup Points (think of these like gold stars or season points that help them qualify for big final playoffs later in the year).

The action is taking place at the Hurstbourne Country Club.

Who is Winning After Round 3?

In golf, a "round" is one day of playing. Round 3 means the third day. Here is the simple version of the leaderboard:

• Lucas Glover (a golfer who has won six times before on the PGA TOUR) played a great third round. He took only 68 swings (a "third-round 68"), which puts him at 15 under (meaning he is 15 swings better than the course’s expected score). He is now leading!
• He is ahead by just one shot (one swing) over Aaron Wise going into the final round on Sunday.
• Stephan Jaeger, Steven Fisk, and Chan Kim are all tied for third place at 13 under.
• Max Homa (who finished second last week at the John Deere Classic) is currently at 5 under for the week.

Important Point: Lucas Glover is in the lead, but only by a single shot! The final round on Sunday is going to be a nail-biter.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

1. What does "15 under" mean in golf?
In golf, "par" is the number of swings (shots) a really good golfer is expected to take on a course. If someone is "15 under," it means they used 15 fewer swings than that expected number. It’s a fantastic score!

2. What are FedExCup Points?
These are like points you collect in a video game season. Golfers earn them by playing well in tournaments all year. The players with the most points at the end get to compete in special, high-stakes playoff events.

3. What does "co-sanctioned" mean?
It means two different golf tours (the PGA TOUR and the DP World Tour) both agree to count this same tournament as part of their own official schedules.

4. Who is Lucas Glover?
He is a professional golfer who has won six previous tournaments on the PGA TOUR. Right now, he is the man to beat at the ISCO Championship.
