Five-under not enough for Aussie Gibson

Australian Rhein Gibson was the best of the pack in the third round of the Web.Com Tour Championship, but it wasn't enough to make up for a woeful Friday.

Australian Rhein Gibson fired a round-best five-under 65 on Sunday, but it wasn't enough to make up for a dismal second round at the Web.com Tour Championship.

Gibson fired under a seven-under 63 on Thursday to take an early lead in the event, but fumbled through a second round which included eight bogies on Friday.

He now sits in a five-way tie for 12th, seven shots behind Argentina's Emiliano Grillo.

Fellow Aussies Robert Allenby and Rod Pampling are four shots further back in a tied for 39th, while Aaron Baddeley had an horrific Sunday, hitting a three-over 73 to sit in 61st.

The tournament is the fourth and final event in the series for the top 75 players from the Web.com Tour money list, Nos. 126-200 in the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup standings and non-members such as Grillo who earned enough money to have placed in the top 200 had they been eligible to receive points.

The top 25 players on the Web.com Tour regular-season money list earned PGA Tour cards. They are competing against each other for tour priority, with regular-season earnings counting in their totals. The other players are fighting for 25 cards based on series earnings.
