It has been a challenging stretch for amateur golfer Ryder Cowan over his last nine holes. After gaining a stroke on the par-5 5th hole, the 21-year-old from Oklahoma was tied for second place. However, following pars on holes 6 and 7, he dropped shots at holes 8, 11, 12, and 14, spiraling down to 25th position. Despite this, he still leads the race to be the top amateur, but only by a single shot from fellow American Miles Russell.
