PALM HARBOR, Fla. – It wasn’t the most colorful scorecard of the day at the event that bills itself as the most colorful on the PGA Tour, but it was more than enough to keep Luke Donald in the mix as he looks to win for the first time in seven years.
The former world No. 1 was steady on a day when swirling winds and crispy conditions made pars dearly sought. Donald made 15 of them en route to a third-round 70, dropping his only shot at No. 6 and bouncing back with 11 straight pars before a 7-foot birdie on the last lifted him into a tie for fourth at 6 under.
