CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. (Dec. 21, 2014) — Brandon Matthews and his closer pursuer Drew Czuchry matched blows today, both firing rounds of 70 to take the 1 and 2 positions respectively into the final round of the Dixie Amateur.

Matthews stands at 8-under while Czuchry is at 6-under. Anthony Gabriele shot 74 but still has a piece of third at 3-under, while James Clark made a huge move up the board with a low-round-of-the-day tying 68.

The Dixie Men's Amateur, the third and final Dixie event taking place in South Florida this December, is being conducted at Heron Bay Golf Club and TPC Eagle Trace.

The 72-hole event will feature three rounds at Heron Bay before a 54-hole cut. The remaining players will finish the tournament at TPC Eagle Trace.

Having just concluded the Dixie Women's Amateur, where France's Mathilda Cappeliez won a playoff over fellow countrywomen Justine Dreher, which followed a repeat performance for Doug Hanzel at the senior event, Heron Bay and TPC Eagle Trace have been quite busy.
