The reigning U.S. Mid-Amateur champion took back the lead and will enter Sunday's final round with a one-stroke advantage
Having been tied after Friday's second round with Brazilian Andre Tourinho at eight-under, Harvey's two-under round on Saturday allowed him to emerge back into the lead, which he held by one after the first round. Tourinho, a former Tulsa University golfer, shot 73 in the third round and now sits three shots back of Harvey.
