Ahlers made four birdies and three bogeys as he dropped 11 spots. At eight-under-par through 54 holes, he was 13 strokes off the lead which was held by Canada’s Richard T Lee. Lee has led from the start, and a third round of six-under-par 66 took him to 21-under for the tournament.
Lee was six clear of Ahmad Baig of Pakistan, who put himself in the mix with a third round of seven-under-par 65. Former Masters champion Bubba Watson also had a 65 in the third round, and he was in third on 14-under-par.
Ian Snyman had a level-par 72, and he was in a share of 60th on three-under. Jbe’ Kruger was a further shot back in a share of 64th after he carded a three-over 75.
