On the 5th (local time), Lee Kyung-hoon finished the third day of the PGA Tour World Wide Technology (WWT) Championship at Mayakoba (total prize money $8.2 million) held at El Camaleon Golf Course at Mayakoba (par 71·7017 yards) in Riviera Maya, Mexico, with 1-under par, dropping to a tie for 50th place (6-under par 207 strokes). Russell Henley led for the second consecutive day (22-under par 191 strokes), with Patton Kizzire and Will Gordon (both from the United States) tied for second place (16-under par 197 strokes).

Starting from a tie for 42nd place, 11 strokes behind, Lee Kyung-hoon recorded 4 birdies and 3 bogeys. He lost 3 strokes in the front nine with consecutive bogeys on holes 1 and 2 and another bogey on hole 6 (par 4). Fortunately, in the back nine, after his first birdie on hole 11 (par 4), he made consecutive birdies on holes 14 and 15, and another birdie on hole 17 (par 4) to finish the round. His tee shots were unstable, with a fairway hit rate of only 57.14%. He fell 7 strokes behind the tied 7th place, making it difficult to enter the 'top 10'.

Henley boasted a perfect play with 6 birdies and no bogeys. He leads by a remarkable 6 strokes. His putting average per hole was an outstanding 1.50. Henley debuted on the PGA Tour in 2013 and has won a total of 3 times. His last victory was at the Shell Houston Open in April 2017. Defending champion Viktor Hovland (Norway) posted 5-under par to rise to a tie for 7th place (13-under par 200 strokes). World No. 2 Scottie Scheffler (USA) is tied for 35th place (9-under par 204 strokes).
