Here are the third round highlights of Stage One Web.com Tour Qualifying at Dayton Valley Golf Club, Dayton, Nev.
With a 5-under 67 keeps Weworski in the top spot at 10-under total
Tyler Weworski of Carlsbad, Calif., fired a 5-under 67 to retain the lead after 54-holes with a 10-under total of 206. Tony Finau (Lehi, Utah), Chris Williams (Moscow, Idaho) and Chris Gilman (Yorba Linda, Calif.) are tied for second just one-shot back at 9-under as all three also carded 67 in the third round.
Martin Trainer of Palo Alto, Calif., shot a second consecutive 6-under 66, and low round of the day, for solo 5th place at 7-under 209. John Catlin is in 6th place after a 3-under 69 for a 5-under 211 total.
Fallon’s Smith below current cut line with even par round
Former Nevada Wolf Pack golfer Scott Smith shot an even par round 72 for a 54-hole total of even par 216 and a tie for 18th place. That puts him three shots better than the last number to qualify going into the final round. “I had a steady day, nothing great and nothing bad and I felt I should have gone lower because the conditions were good for scoring” said Smith who three-putted the 18th hole for par after hitting a great second shot to about 25 feet. “Yeah, I would feel a lot better about the day if that putt goes in on 18, but I’m still okay and in a good position to qualify.”
