News from Round Three Another day, another clean card for Quade Cummins. The Round-Two leader from Oklahoma City, Okla. followed up yesterday’s bogey-free round of 66 with a bogey-free 65 today to move to 15-under overall, increasing his lead to three shots after three rounds at the 53rd Pacific Coast Amateur Championship.

The Oklahoman entered the day with a one shot lead and took no time at all to get the ball rolling again, going 3-under on the front. “I had a birdie on four, birdie on five and a birdie on nine,” said Cummins. And the low numbers didn’t stop. Cummins birdied No. 13 and eagled No. 15 to finish off the round. Cummins was paired with Thomas Hutchison of San Jose, Calif., who fired the low round of the day yesterday, and Blake Windred of Australia, who was the co-leader after Round One. “I’ve had bogey-free rounds, but I don’t think I’ve ever had two in a row,” said Cummins.

The round of the day today went to Carson Barry of Eagle, Idaho who entered the day 14 shots off the lead at 5-over par. “I had a pretty solid start on the back,” said Barry. “Then I got a long eagle putt to drop on No. 18 and figured I could do something on the front, because I was hitting it really good.” Barry fired the low round of the tournament, an 8-under 63 to climb the leaderboard into the top-25.
