Tony Finau entered the par-3 17th hole trailing Justin Rose by two strokes.He walked off the par-5 18th leading by three.Following a birdie at the par-4 16th, Finau nearly aced the toughest hole on the courseand made a tap-in, birdie-2.
Rose, meanwhile, carded a double-bogey 5 the eighth double bogey of the day from the field on No. 17.The three-shot swing turned the tide in a round that had favored Rose for the majority of the day.Finau began the third round with a two-shot lead, but was 2 over par for the round through his first 12 holes.Rose, the defending champion and looking to regain his world No. 1 status, birdied four of his first eight holes, and was 5 under par for the round by the time the final group reached the penultimate hole.

After back-to-back birdies, he completed the trifecta with a 12-foot birdie putt at the last. Finau also shot 70 - a much more palatable 70 - and, at 13 under par, leads Rose, Xander Schauffele and Patrick Reed by three shots entering the final round.
That action turned out to be a violation of Rule 7-2, which states that in match-play situations players can only practice between holes on the putting green of the previous hole.
