Texas Longhorn teammates Cole Hammer and Pierceson Coody set the stage for a Saturday shootout at Maridoe
“I just felt a little rushed today,” Mouw said. “I’m excited for tomorrow, we’re not out of it.” Just three shots back of the lead, Mouw is still in the thick of things. His opening 69 and 67 helped offset his third-round 76, which closed with a double-bogey. Knowing how quickly a lead can change and momentum can shift, Mouw is comfortable with his positioning. “18 holes of golf is a lot of holes,” Mouw said. “You see three-shot leads go [away] in two, three holes so three shots is nothing. Go out there and compete with some of the best amateurs out there and see who comes out on top.” David Perkins (East Peoria, Ill.) is two shots back in third after a 74. Mouw is tied for fourth, three shots back, alongside Clay Merchent (Noblesville, Ind.) and Cooper Dossey (Austin, Texas). Merchent may have the most to gain from anyone on Saturday. While everyone else in the top 10 is already exempt into next month's U.S. Amateur at Bandon Dunes, Merchent is currently on the outside looking in and needs a win or a runner-up to punch his ticket to the national championship. Related: USGA to exempt winners, runners-up of 4 AM majors into the US AM Wilson Furr (Jackson, Miss.) had the round of the day, a 6-under 66, with four 2's on the card, to climb into a seventh-place tie with a pair of Oklahomans, Austin Eckroat (Edmond) and Quade Cummins (Weatherford). The highest-ranked player in the field, John Pak (Scotch Plains, N.J.), shot a 67 on Friday to get to one under par. Michael Brennan (Leesburg, Va.), who won the Maridoe Junior here earlier this summer, held his ground Friday with an even-par 72 to remain +2 and is in a tie for 26th. The final round begins at 7:30 am CT with Coody and Hammer teeing off at 9:20 am CT alongside Perkins.
