Noh Seung-yul shot a 7-under 64 to move into third place at the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship, boosting his bid to secure a PGA Tour card for next season.

Noh made eight birdies and one bogey in the third round of the $1.5 million Korn Ferry Tour event at Ohio State University Golf Club's par-71 Scarlet Course in Columbus, Ohio, on Sunday, Korean time.

At 13-under 200, he climbed from a tie for 14th into sole possession of third, three strokes behind American leader John Marshall Butler.

Noh shared the first-round lead after opening with a 63 but slipped down the leaderboard with a second-round 73. His third-round recovery put him back in contention for the title.

Ranked 49th on the Korn Ferry Tour points list, Noh needs to finish the season in the top 20 to earn a PGA Tour card for next year.

Three events remain, including this week's tournament, followed by the Compliance Solutions Championship and the Korn Ferry Tour Championship.

Meanwhile, American Neal Shipley maintained his lead through the third round of the PGA Tour's $5 million Biltmore Championship.

Shipley shot a 6-under 65 at the par-71 Cliffs at Walnut Cove in Asheville, North Carolina, to reach 21-under 192.

Ranked 183rd in the FedEx Cup standings, Shipley would secure a two-year PGA Tour exemption and a spot in the Championship Series launching in 2028 with a victory.

Among players competing in next week's Presidents Cup, US team member Jacob Bridgeman was tied for fifth at 16-under 197, while teammate Jackson Koivun was tied for seventh at 15-under 198.

Canadians Nick Taylor and Corey Conners, both members of the International team, were further down the leaderboard. Taylor was tied for 59th at 6-under 207, while Conners was tied for 68th at 5-under 208.
