Las Vegas players Edward Fryatt and Brady Exber lead both divisions of the Crane Cup entering the final round.
Fryatt is a reinstated amateur from Las Vegas who contended last month in his hometown city championship after an opening 9-under 63. He’s a veteran of more than 10 USGA Championships, including three U.S. Opens. He was T-24 at the 1997 U.S. Open at Congressional. Fryatt returned to the amateur game in 2013.
Defending champion Derek Busby is third after a second-round 67 left him at 5-under 137, three off the lead. Skip Berkmeyer, a mid-amateur who made match play at this year’s U.S. Amateur, is three shots back in fourth.
After rounds of 71-70, 2017 U.S. Mid-Amateur champion Matt Parziale worked his way into a tie for fifth at 1-under 141.
Another Las Vegas player moved into the lead in the senior division. Brady Exber, who won the Canadian Senior Amateur earlier this year, had a 3-under 68 to reach 3 under for the tournament and take a two-shot lead on Mike McCoy and Chip Lutz.
Exber won the Crane Cup in 2015. He is a seven-time Southern Nevada Golf Association Player of the Year.
