Detroit Golf Club, Detroit, MI — June 29, 2019
For a guy who did not know he was even in the tournament until noontime Wednesday, Nate Lashley looks to be playing like a veteran with tons of experience. Poised to take his first ever PGA Tour victory, Lashley holds a six-stroke lead heading into Sunday’s final round.
On Saturday, Lashley matched his opening round score of 63 to pull away from the field. His 3 day total is 23 under par. Four birdies on the front nine and five more on the backside equaled his 2nd bogey-free round of the week.
J.T. Poston is Lashley’s closest pursuer at 17 under par. Cameron Tringale is third at -16, with Patrick Reed alone in 4th at -15.
