LIMA, Peru — With his second consecutive round of 70, reigning U.S. Mid-Amateur champion Scott Harvey, of Greensboro, N.C., separated himself by a stroke heading into the final round at the South American Amateur.

Having been tied after Friday's second round with Brazilian Andre Tourinho at eight-under, Harvey's two-under round on Saturday allowed him to emerge back into the lead, which he held by one after the first round. Tourinho, a former Tulsa University golfer, shot 73 in the third round and now sits three shots back of Harvey.

No. 3 ranked amateur in the world, Ashley Chesters of England, continues his climb up the leaderboard after an opening-round 74. Rounds of 68 and 69 since have him five back in a tie for fifth place with Jack Davidson of Wales.

Mike McCoy, after jumping into the top-five on Friday with a 66, shot 76 on Saturday to fall into a tie for 14th.
