Pat Grady, who finished 11th last year in the National Car Rental Assistant PGA Professional Championship in Port St. Lucie, Fla., will be hard-pressed to better that performance on Sunday, but he’s making some headway.
The University of Colorado men’s assistant coach shot a 1-under-par 71 on Saturday to move up into a tie for 38th place at 2-over-par 218.
Grady (pictured), the 2016 Colorado PGA Assistants Champion, made four birdies and three bogeys in the third round.
Brandon Bingaman of The Bridges Golf and Country Club in Montrose, this year’s Assistants champ in Colorado, also shares 38th place at 218. Bingaman carded his second straight 73, posting two birdies and three bogeys.
Grady and Bingaman trail leader Derek Berg of Sahalee Country Club in Washington by 12 going into Sunday’s final round.
