A strong birdie-birdie finish has Michael Thompson tied for 8th heading into Sunday's final round of the RBC Heritage in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Michael is 13 under par for the tournament and two shots off the lead.
Michael's third round got off to a rough start with a bogey at the first hole but he quickly righted things with back-to-back birdies on holes 2 and 3 and never looked back. Michael shot a five under par (66) in the third round notching six birdies against that sole bogey on the opening hole.
Michael will be paired with Erik van Rooyen in Sunday's final round. They tee off at 1:20PM ET.
