Dubai-born Rayhan Thomas had an impressive third round at the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas Wichita Open on the Korn Ferry Tour, shooting a three under par 67 for a 54-hole total of seven-under-par 203. The play took place at Crestview Country Club in Kansas over 6,910 yards. Thomas, who had previous rounds of 72 and 64, moved up from 47th place on day three to be tied for 38th place.
The leader of the field is Sam Stevens, a 27-year-old player from the US, with rounds of 66, 63, and another 63, putting him at 18 under par. Stevens, ranked 126 in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR), has a three-shot lead and went to Oklahoma State University, just like Thomas.

Despite a disappointing three-putt on the 12th hole, he bounced back with a birdie on 13 and an eagle on 14, finishing at eight under par.
Thomas finished his round with a bogey on hole 15, followed by three pars to come home in 34 and a round of 67. Looking ahead to the final round, Thomas expressed his desire to continue being aggressive and move up the leaderboard to hopefully shoot a low score and qualify for the next week’s Korn Ferry Tour event. He remains optimistic and focused on his game as a professional golfer, aiming for a strong finish in the tournament.
Overall, Thomas was pleased with how he competed in the third round, despite a few setbacks. He acknowledged that there were areas for improvement but maintained a positive mindset going into the final round. With determination and a strategic approach, Thomas hopes to deliver a strong performance and secure a spot in the top 25 of the leaderboard.
