Stuart Macdonald and Sudarshan Yellamaraju both could experience a life-changing moment on Sunday.
The Canadian golfers will be in contention to secure PGA Tour cards in the final round of the Korn Ferry Tour Championship in French Lick, Ind.
Macdonald, from Vancouver, is three shots back of leader Barend Botha of South Africa. The Canadian is 7 under through three rounds after shooting a 2-under 70 on Saturday. He needs to win to get into the top 20 in the season standings, the cut-off for PGA Tour cards.
Yellamaraju, from Mississauga, Ont., entered the week in 20th and is projected to stay there after shooting a 1-under 71 on Saturday to improve to 1 under for the tournament.
Both players are looking for PGA Tour status for the first time.
Myles Creighton of Digby, N.S. started the week in 29th but is projected to drop to 31st. He sits at even par for the tournament.
Macdonald, 30, started the week 50th and was tied for the tournament lead after Friday’s second round.
He received late entry to the Korn Ferry Tour this year after Denmark’s Frederik Kjettrup signed up with LIV Golf prior to the season.
The top 10 golfers in the PGA Tour Americas final standings for 2024 received full Korn Ferry status for 2025. When the second-ranked Kjettrup bolted for LIV, the 11th-ranked Macdonald moved up to No. 10.
Yellamaraju, 24, is in his second season on the Korn Ferry Tour. He won the Bahamas Great Abaco Classic in January.
