Benjamin Carr pushes his lead from one shot to eight with a spectacular third round at the Country Club of Columbus
Mosley, a 37-year-old former Florida State player who took 14 years away from competitive golf before returning with a semifinal run at the U.S. Mid-Amateur last year, birdied six, seven and eight to pull within three shots, but that's as close as he would get as Carr started making birdies. Carr took advantage of the short 10th and 11th with back-to-back birdies, and then after a par went back-to-back again. By now Carr was six clear, and birdies at the short par-3 16th and the final hole pushed the lead to a whopping eight heading into the final round. In all, Carr had seven birdies and an eagle for a 9-under 61, taking only 28 shots on the back nine (where the par is 34). In so doing, Carr shot the lowest score in the 110-year history of the CC of Columbus. His 54-hole total is a massive 17 under par, 193. Mosley finished with a 68 to get to nine under and in second spot, with the Australian Doull shooting 69 finish seven under, tied with Will Chandler of Atlanta and Caleb Proveaux of Lexington, S.C. Chandler had a 65 and Proveaux a 68 in round three. The cut fell to the low 60 players and ties at 8 over par, 218. Carr will take his eight shot lead, as well as his home course advantage as a member of the host club, into the final round on Saturday.Record-Breaking Eagle! @GaSouthernGolf standout @bencarr__ cards lowest round in @SoutheasternAm and @CCC1909 history! pic.twitter.com/Ec75BCLVUu
