With a lot of golf left to play today, Wes Roach shot 66 and is currently T10, having moved up 22 spots (for now at least).
Adam Long shot 72 and is now T62.
Wes Roach shot a bogey free 66 yesterday and is 5 shots off the lead going into today's final round.
Tee times:
T14, Wes Roach (-11), 11:25 am
T50, Ryan Blaum (-6), 8:35 am
T61, Adam Long (-4), 7:15 am
Roach finished at 15 under and currently tied for 6th. CBC actually showed him. He should finish about 10th which will put him safely inside Top 125 money list (key for keeping the tour card). Interesting that he played poorly (no top 40s) until the past month. He’s had a 3rd, 11th and now roughly 10th place finish recently.
Blaum and Long finished in the 50s this week. Ryan needs another top 20 or so before reg.season ends in Greensboro soon.

Kevin Streelman tees off at 10:32 am.
I'd happily bet a few pounds on streels if I could. America is still a little Puritan for my taste.
Streelman finished Round 2 at -6 and is E for the Championship. He is T47 and will be playing the weekend.
Quite the turnaround for Kevin.
To my limited knowledge, we haven’t seen a Duke player contend in a Major since the days of Art Wall and Mike Souchak. I didn’t really start following Duke golfers on the tour before Joe Ogilvie so I could be wrong. Joe, Kevin and now Adam Long have won regular tour events in past 15 or so years.
Wikipedia does a good job of tracking player records in the Majors.
Streels has a T12 at the PGA in 2012, T12 at the Masters in 2015 and T13 at the US Open in 2016.
Joe Ogilvie was T17 at the 2005 PGA and T25 at both the 2001 British Open and the 2005 Masters.
Souchak had 11 top ten finishes in the Majors -- T3, T3 and T4 at the US Open in 1959, 1960 and 1961.
Art Wall, Jr. won the 1959 Masters and had four other top ten finishes.
Skip Alexander tied for ninth in the 1948 PGA, tied for 11th in the 1948 U.S. Open and tied for 14th in the 1950 Masters.
Alexander was badly burned in a plane crash and had to drop off the PGA tour because he couldn't walk 18 holes.
To win this by one shot, he birdied 13, 14, and 15, parred 16, then birdied 17 and 18 (yes, he birdied FIVE of the last SIX holes at the Masters to edge Cary Middlecoff by one stroke). The story that year was not Art Wall's win but Arnold Palmer's collapse, with a triple bogey at the famed 12th hole, and two missed putts under six feet on 17 and 18. After the round, Palmer said that if he managed to par the 12th hole, he "probably would've won by 5 strokes."
