ANALYSIS
Yellamaraju could have been in contention for a top-5 finish in Hawaii had it not been for his two-over 72 score in the third round Saturday. The 24-year-old Canadian led the field in driving distance (328.40 yards) and finished in the top-20 in putts per GIR and SG: Off the Tee. It was an impressive performance from Yellamaraju given that it was just the second PGA Tour tournament of his career, and he rose 42 spots to 236th in the OWGR heading into The American Express.
