Matt McCarty is 18 holes away from his first career PGA Tour victory after his 7-under 64 on Saturday moved him into the lead through three rounds of action at the Black Desert Championship in Ivins, Utah.
McCarty, 26, collected seven birdies, one eagle and two bogeys. He did most of his damage between Nos. 4-8, where he followed three birdies in a row with his eagle and another birdie.
Now at 19-under 194 for the tournament, McCarty holds a two-shot lead over Joe Highsmith (62 on Saturday), Kevin Streelman (63), Harris English (66) and Germany’s Stephan Jaeger (68), who are all tied for second. Highsmith’s 62 marked the low round of the day.
Englishman Harry Hall fired a 7-under 64 on Saturday and is in sole possession of sixth, four strokes off the lead.
Kurt Kitayama and Chad Ramey each moved 18 spots up the leaderboard with matching 64s. They are now T7 along with Beau Hossler (66).
