Colombian Juan Sebastián Muñoz is making history in a professional golf tournament in the United States

The golf tournament of the PGA Tour of the United States The Players Championship, which takes place in Ponte Vedra Beach (Florida), was suspended this Sunday without finishing the third round due to lack of lighting, with the Indian Anirban Lahiri as the leader. Sebastián Muñoz finished in a promising fourth position, two strokes behind the leader.

Lahiri birdied three of his last four holes to take a one-shot lead before darkness halted the third round of the contest. The lack of light cut off an excellent round for the Colombian golfer.

For his part, Muñoz was having the most outstanding lap of the day, until the sirens sounded, announcing the suspension of the game. The Bogota native, who finished 14 holes, was 6 under par, with birdies at: 2, 3, 11, 12, 13 and 16.

Now, this Monday the Colombian, with 65 shots (7 under par), presented the best card of the three days of The Players tournament, which places him just one hit behind the Indian Anirban Lahiri, who leads with a total of 207 (-9).

It should be noted that Sebastián Muñoz’s 65, with seven birdies, has only been equaled by the American Scott Stallings, who presented the same shots on Monday, but with eight birdies and a bogey.

Lahiri birdied three of his last four holes to take a one-shot lead before darkness halted the third round of the contest. Americans Tom Hoge and Harold Barner are tied for second.

The Spaniards Sergio García and Jon Rahm, number one in the world, do so in positions 18 and 38, respectively, when they go through the 15th and 12th holes of the third round. The Chilean Joaquín Niemann is tied with García, while the Mexican Abraham Ancer is located in 32.

Among the Latin Americans who did not make the cut in the second round are the Mexican Carlos Ortiz, the Venezuelan Jhonattan Vegas, the Chilean Mito Pereira and the Argentine Emiliano Grillo. The second round was completed with a two-day delay due to bad weather.

The second round was completed with a two-day delay due to bad weather, as this event, one of the most prestigious on the PGA circuit, was extended until Monday due to continuous interruptions due to heavy rains in Ponte Vedra Beach (Florida).
