Blake Collyer did the hard work in the third round, when he logged a 67 to separate himself from the field
Collyer had rounds of 72-72-67-71 for the tournament, which was good for a 6-under 282 total. Since his Dunes Medal victory, Collyer made headlines in the U.S. with an eleventh-hour ace that secured his win at the W.E. Cole Cotton States in July. Collyer also recently finished T-12 at the New South Wales Open, a professional event. He received big congrats on Twitter on Friday, including from Australian pro Mark Hensby, with whom Collyer was paired in the third round of the New South Wales Open.
Good playing Blake. 👍. Just another stepping stone. Keep up the good work. Cheers
