South Africa’s Aldrich Potgieter shot 4-under-par 67 to maintain the lead through the third round of the Mexico Open on Saturday at VidantaWorld in Vallarta, Mexico.
Potgieter is at 20 under for the tournament, holding a one-stroke edge on Brian Campbell (64 on Saturday).
Germany’s Stephan Jaeger (66) is three strokes back at 17 under, Alex Smalley (64) sits at 15 under and Ben Griffin (67) and England’s Aaron Rai (68) share fifth place at 14 under.
Potgieter, 20, is seeking his first PGA Tour victory in his 10th appearance on the circuit.
A day earlier, Potgieter’s 61 made him the fourth-youngest player with a round of 61 or better on the tour.
Campbell played the last 10 holes in 5 under, including a birdie on the last hole, to make a late charge. He had birdies on the three par-5s on the backside.
That cut into Potgieter’s lead, which also was reduced with his bogey on No. 17.
Defending champion Jake Knapp’s 68 put him at 6 under and tied for 45th.
