Hero World Challenge 2025 Round 3 Rankings
Sepp Straka took the lead after three rounds of the 2025 Hero World Challenge. He began his campaign with an opening round of 66, followed by subsequent rounds of 69 and 64. After the third round, he climbed five places in the leaderboard to take a one-shot lead in the match.
At the post-round press conference, Straka spoke about his third round. He said (via Tee Scripts):
“I had been playing pretty well. At the start of the nine, I felt like I didn’t really make any putts at first, but then the putter started to feel pretty good in the turn. Yeah, honestly, like yesterday. The iron play was really good, I just struggled a little with the driver. Hopefully that’ll be sorted for tomorrow.”
Scottie Scheffler is also in the running for the title. He moved into second place after three laps. He started with a first round of 66, followed by second rounds of 69 and 65. Alex Noren and Hideki Matsuyama were tied for third place after three rounds.
Scheffler is in contention to win the Hero World Challenge for the third time in a row. He won the event in 2023 and then defended the title in 2024.
