Americans Jim Knous and Maverick McNealy jointly took the lead in Round 3 of the Fortinet Championship on Saturday in Napa, Calif.
McNealy thus preserved his rank, he who had started his day at the top. To do so, he hit the white object 70 (-2) times.
For his part, Knous had eight birdies, including five in a row between the fifth and the ninth pennant, as well as a boguey, to deliver a card of 65 (-7). The two men will open the final round with a priority of two strikes at the expense of a group of five participants.
In a round of 71 (-1) and a score of 210 (-6), Taylor Pendrith is the top-ranked Canadian, sharing 39th place.
Adam Svensson shares 44th position (211; -5), while Michael Gligic and Nick Taylor are at the back of the pack, each with a cumulative 215 (-1).
LPGA: a day without golf
LPGA officials did not allow golfers to attack the third round of the Cambia Portland Classic on Saturday in Westin Hill, Oregon due to weather and field conditions.
The Oregon Golf Club received over an inch and a half of rain on Friday night and was expecting even more the next day.
The LPGA authorities will decide before the start of the third round on Sunday morning whether participants will have to play 54 or 72 holes to complete the competition. A final round on Monday might be an option.
