(AP) — Maverick McNealy steadied himself after a rugged start Saturday with a 4-under 66 and caught up with Vince Whaley in a wild third round at the RSM Classic in which a half-dozen players had at least a share of the lead. McNealy looked as though he might have the lead when he hit wedge on the final hole that rolled just by the cup and settled 8 feet away. He missed the putt, still in great position to go after his first PGA Tour victory. Whaley, also winless on tour, birdied the 18th for a 63 and will be playing in the final group for the first time on the PGA Tour. McNealy, who joined him at 14-under 198, also shared the 54-hole lead in 2021 at the season opener in Napa, California. Whaley was playing with a sense of freedom not everyone has at the final PGA Tour event this year. He was playing on a medical extension and fulfilled the necessary points in July. The next step was finishing in the top 125 in the FedEx Cup. He secured that last week with a tie for fifth in the Bermuda Championship. Everything else feels like a bonus, and there could be no greater perk than a victory to get into the Masters and PGA Championship, along with a two-year exemption. “I’ve really got nothing to lose and everything to gain, so I’m just excited for the opportunity,” Whaley said. Opportunity abounds going into the final round. Daniel Berger shot a 63 and played his way into the final group, just two shots behind. He was tied with former Sea Island winner Mackenzie Hughes of Dundas, Ont., (65), Michael Thorbjornsen (67) and Patrick Fishburn (69). Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C., (71) dropped 23 spots to tie for 47th at 3 under. Adam Svensson of Surrey, B.C., (70) was 1 under. Berger and Thorbjornsen were among those who arrived at Sea Island outside the top 125, the number required to keep full status on tour on next year. Thorbjornsen already has that locked up as the No. 1 player in the PGA Tour University ranking. Berger needed a big week and he’s delivering, even though he says he doesn’t feel stress. Berger missed 19 months with a back injury that he feared might end his career. Now he’s healthy enough to have played 27 times this year. “Regardless when I play well, I’m going to be fine,” said Berger, who played in the 2021 Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits. “When you miss that much amount of time it takes a little bit of a while to get back. It’s just a matter of being patient and eventually good things come around.” Henrik Norlander and Hayden Springer, also on the wrong side of No. 125, each shot 63 and were among those tied for 12th, a position that currently would let them move into the top 125. Joel Dahmen, who had to make a 5-foot par putt on Friday to make the cut, shot 70 and was tied for 61st. He is at No. 124 and his future depends on a big round Sunday, along with how Thorbjornsen, Berger, Norlander and Springer fare. Closer to the top, eight players were separated by three shots. That includes Luke Clanton, the Florida State sophomore and No. 1 amateur in the world who already has three top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour and was going after another one. ___ AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golf AdvertisementBanking technology company Mbanq has debuted Mbanq Comet, an AI-powered digital loan origination platform. Comet integrates with core banking systems and is designed to allow banks, credit unions and FinTechs to streamline their loan decision process without interrupting their existing operations, according to a Monday (Nov. 25) press release . “Mbanq Comet is a vital tool for financial institutions looking to modernize their lending process,” Lars Rottweiler , chief technology officer at Mbanq, said in the release. “Its rapid deployment, compatibility with any legacy system, and advanced AI-powered tools make it a cornerstone of digital transformation in the financial industry.” In addition, Comet enhances the borrower experience with “a fully digital and user-friendly lending journey,” per the release, with credit scoring and risk assessment capabilities that comply with regulations such as ECOA and UDAAP. “Additionally, the platform’s automation tools reduce operational costs while maintaining top-tier security and compliance standards,” the release said. As PYMNTS wrote earlier this year, AI-powered loan decisioning tools “are becoming the new norm,” and have started to transform the way working capital and financing are extended to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). “AI has introduced a data-driven paradigm into the lending landscape, replacing subjective evaluations with objective analyses of vast amounts of information,” that report said. “Machine learning algorithms now assess a multitude of factors, including financial history, credit scores and business performance metrics, to make lending decisions.” And in many ways, this shift has turned character-based lending into something of a dying art, at a time when SMBs can’t easily get loans, even smaller ones, as Galileo Financial Technologies Chief Product Officer David Feuer told PYMNTS in an interview last year. “Banks are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their use of data and their use of AI to make intelligent decisions about who to make their offers to,” Feuer said. One of the benefits of AI-powered loan decisioning tools is their speed and efficiency, that report noted. Traditional character-based lending often involved long evaluations and personal interactions, which could cause delays in accessing much-needed working capital. “AI enables quick and automated assessments, providing SMBs with timely financing solutions to support their growth and operations,” PYMNTS wrote.skygaming777 login philippines 。
