There are more than 3,000 players at the Myrtle Beach World Amateur this week. We're watching those in the gross division closely.
Scoring conditions were ideal on Wednesday even though it was the hottest day of the week so far. Christopher Reina had a third-round 66, the lowest round of the division so far this week, to take the lead from first- and second-day leader Kevin Wheeler.
Right behind Reina, AmateurGolf.com’s own Kyle Rector had the only other sub-70 score of the day in this division. Rector followed up opening rounds of 72-73 with a third-round 69. He will enter the final round trailing by two shots with his 214 total.
Eric King, who is solo third, also remains in the mix after a third-round 71. He is one shot behind Rector with a 215 total. Wheeler is next at 219. He dropped to 76 on Wednesday.
At the conclusion of Thursday’s fourth round, all flight winners and ties will advance to the Flight Winner’s Playoff at Barefoot Resort’s Dye Course, where a World Champion will be crowned. The World Am is made up of 67 flights, everything from gross to “just for fun.”
