Tyler Schafer had a colorful scorecard, but it all added up to even par and the lead at Aviara Golf Club
Schafer, who logged a top-5 finish at the 2017 SCGA Public Links, made his first bogey at No. 2 but quickly recovered with a birdie at No. 3. He followed with one more of each on the front nine before an eagle at the par-5 eighth sent him to the back nine at 2 under. Schafer went on to make two bogeys, three birdies and a triple, but it all added up to 72.
Three players are tied for third at 3 over, including Matt Fry, Alex Locke and Jamie Cheatham, a redshirt junior at Cal.

Britton’s deft putting touch certainly helped him get ahead on a day when many players in the field lost ground with 3-putts – and a few 4-putts – on the greens. Britton, a familiar face in AmateurGolf.com tournaments who finished T-2 at the AmateurGolf.com Christmas Classic to end 2018, will take a three-shot lead on Nicholas Bock into the final round.
Michael Horan is third with a 4-over 76. Three players – Steve Donnelly, Gene Walsh and Michael Harding – are tied for fourth with rounds of 5-over 77.
April Ranches, a freshman at San Diego State, is leading the women’s division after a 2-over 74. Ranches made the turn at 2 under, but double bogeys on two of her final three holes pushed her over par for the day.
Brianna Steger, Daniela Anastasi and Jaime Jacob are tied for second at 5-over 77.
In the net division, Dorothy Donnelly leads with an even-par 72. Chris Ladd and Korsen Yu are two shots behind her in a tie for second.
