Mackenzie Hughes of Hamilton, Ont., completed his delayed third-round at the 87th Masters on Sunday morning, shooting a two-over 74 which puts him at 3-over through 54 holes from Augusta National Golf Club.

The 32-year-old, who was the only Canadian to make the cut, started his third-round on Hole 10 on Saturday after Friday’s round was also delayed due to weather.

In third-round play, Hughes recorded five birdies, five bogeys and one double-bogey.

Hughes got off to slow start in Round 1 on Thursday, shooting a four-over 76 before turning things around in the second-round, recording a 3-under 69 to make the cut.

This week marks Hughes’ fourth appearance at the Masters Tournament with his best result being a top-40 finish in 2021.

The other Canadians in the field – Mike Weir (4-over), Corey Conners (8-over) and Adam Svensson (11-over) – all missed the cut.

Brooks Koepka was holding the lead at 12-under when Hughes finished his third-round. He’ll return to the course later today for the fourth and final round.
