Peter Uihlein continues to lead at 13-under, but he is pursued by Andrew Putnam, who recently played the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach
And while that score keeps him at the top of the leaderboard, he is pursued by Andrew Putnam of Washington -- the 36 hole leader over Uihlein by 1 stroke -- who has posted all three rounds in the 60's to stand at 11-under. Four players are tied at 210 (6-under), while local favorite Nick Taylor of Abbostford, B.C. is at 213 and in all likelihood out of striking distance.

DUPONT, Wash. (July 7, 2010) -- Peter Uihlein, the No. 2 ranked player in the Golfweek/amateurgolf.com Men's World Rankings, has fired an almost perfectly symmetrical round of 66 today to open his play at the Sahalee Players Championship. Uihlein, the Walker Cup standout who plays for Oklahoma State, made 3 birdies on each nine and no bogeys for his round at the Home Course -- the temporary home of this year's event. (The regular host course, Sahalee Country Club will host the U.S. Senior Open at the end of July.)
Expect more coverage on this traditional event during the week.
ABOUT THE HOME COURSE
The Pacific Northwest Golf Association (PNGA) and Washington State Golf Association (WSGA) acquired The Home Course from the Weyerhaeuser Company on May 31, 2007, and opened it to the public on June 29. With the championship tees currently set at 7,437 yards, it will prove to be a stern test for the world’s top amateur golfers as it will be the site for one of the stroke play rounds at the 2010 U.S. Amateur. The other site is Chambers Bay, which will also be the match play course
