Max Herendeen is 18 holes away from adding another huge win to his golfing resume.

Herendeen is 10-under and leads the 2024 Sunnehanna Amateur at Sunnehanna Country Club in Johnstown, Pa., and has carded rounds of 69-66-65 to take a one-shot lead over Jase Summy, Palmer Jackson, and Zac Jones, who are 9-under and T2.

Herendeen started his third round off with birdies on holes No. 1 and 2 and finished with seven birdies and two bogeys. He birdied holes No. 13, 14, and 15 to take a late one-shot lead into the clubhouse.

Herendeen has been playing his best golf recently. He won the NCAA Division I West Regional and finished T2 to Hiroshi Tai of Georgia Tech in the NCAA individual championships. He also won the 2022 Coachella Amateur and finished T16 at the 2024 Big Ten Championships.

The Illinois standout is currently ranked No. 83 in the Golfweek/AmateurGolf.com World Rankings.

Ethan Evans and Preston Stout are T5 at 8-under, and Ben Warian, Cooper Jones, Michael Weaver, Matthew Troutman, and Nathan Franks are all T7 at 7-under. 15 golfers are within four shots of the lead, and 41 golfers are under par for the tournament.

Warian, the First-round leader, shot a second-round 1-over 71 and a third-round 3-under 67 after a first-round 5-under 65 to sit at T7 heading into the final 18 holes.

The Sunnehanna Amateur was inaugurated in July 1954. It was the first country club-sponsored 72-hole stroke play competition for amateurs in the United States. The tournament is played on a classic A.W. Tillinghast design.

Only one other amateur tournament in the United States can boast contestants such as Chick Evans, Arnold Palmer, Julius Boros, Art Wall, Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, and Rickie Fowler: the United States Amateur. Its medal-play format has been emulated by countless amateur tournaments across the country.
