Curtis went into round three with a two-shot lead over the rest of the field, but his chances of winning this tournament were threatened as he sank two double-bogeys on his front nine, at the par-four first and par-five eighth. However, the American bounced back on his inward nine, adding to his birdie at the second with ones at the 10th, 14th and 17th. A bogey at the par-four 15th prevented him from pulling further clear of the field, but his nine-over total through 54 holes means he has a strong lead to take into final day.

Matt Every is alone in second place on six-under after he too shot a one-over-par round on day three. The American, who had led after day one at TPC San Antonio, made two bogeys and three birdies as he failed to capitalise on Curtis’ struggles with a third-round 73.

A trio of men currently share third place in Texas, but at four-under John Huh, Seung-Yul Noh and Charlie Wi could find it difficult to challenge on Sunday, while Matt Kuchar, Greg Chalmers, Brian Gay, David Mathis and Cameron Tringale are all a shot further back on three-under. Mathis and Tringale could have kept themselves firmly intention after a good first two rounds, but third-round scores of 77 and 76 respectively appear to have ended their hopes.
