Day 3: The 2013 RBC Canadian Open

There's only one round left in the 2013 RBC Canadian Open and American Brandt Snedeker sits atop the leaderboard at 14-under. Despite a small rain delay during the middle of the day, lower scores were still made throughout the day. The low round of the day was a 63, and was shot by Snedeker and fellow American Dustin Johnson.

Perhaps the bigger story of the day was when 54-hole leader Hunter Mahan, decided to withdraw shortly before his 3rd round, due to his wife unexpectedly going into labor. Hunter got the call whilst warming up on the range, and its worth noting that if it weren't for the rain delay, he would of had to withdraw mid-round.

Also, unbeknownst to many, the RBC Canadian Open had implemented the "made-cut did-not-finish rule" or the "Saturday Cut" Rule, which automatically cuts the players with the highest score after their Sunday round. Irishman Graeme McDowell was among the handful to get cut. He was sitting at even par after his 3rd round.
