GREER, S.C. - Canadian golfer Stuart Macdonald tied for fifth on Sunday at the Korn Ferry Tour's BMW Charity Pro-Am.

It marked the third top-10 finish in a row for the Vancouver native, who tied for third and tied for 10th at his past two events.

Macdonald finished at 19 under for the 72-hole tournament on Sunday, eight strokes behind winner Mito Pereira of Chile.
