Vegas Takes 3M Lead After Shooting 3rd-Round 63
Henderson, NV – Maverick McNealy fired a blistering 8-under 63 on Saturday to grab a three-stroke lead heading into the final round of the 3M Open.
The 25-year-old American, who is seeking his first PGA Tour victory, carded eight birdies, including four on the back nine, to surge up the leaderboard.
McNealy’s impressive performance came despite windy conditions at TPC Twin Cities. He connected on 12 of 14 fairways and hit 16 greens in regulation.
“I’m really happy with how I played today,” said McNealy. “I hit the ball really well and made some good putts. I’m looking forward to tomorrow.”
Chasing McNealy are Russell Knox and Jhonattan Vegas, who are tied for second place at 11-under. Knox shot a 66, while Vegas carded a 63, matching McNealy’s round of the day.
