Marcus Fraser cruised along largely unchallenged after three birdies across his
first 11 holes. But bogeys at Nos. 12 and 16 combined with the round of
the day from Belgium’s Pieters cost Fraser his solo lead after 17 holes.
From there, two solid shots and a lag putt for a closing birdie got him
into the clubhouse in 2-under 69 and back up by one before Moving Day
in Rio. He’ll be chased this weekend by Pieters, a 24-year-old two-time
European Tour winner, and Sweden’s Stenson, the reigning Champion Golfer
of the Year who’s less than a month removed from his Open win. In
addition, Rose, a 15-time PGA and European Tour champion and the 2013
U.S. Open winner, is just four off the pace. But where are the Americans? Can Dustin Johnson, Bubba Waston, Rickie Fowler or Patrick Reed break through in Round 3? Share your picks with the
