Overview

• Ryan Gerard closed with a 12-point third round at Tahoe Mountain Club, nailing a 20-foot flop-shot birdie on the 18th to tie for the lead.
• Rico Hoey responded with four birdies in his last six holes, posting an eight-point round to join Gerard at 34 points.
• The tournament’s modified Stableford format awards points for birdies and eagles and deducts for bogeys and double bogeys.
• High-elevation breezes at the 6,000-foot tree-lined course influenced scoring in Saturday’s penultimate round.
• Sunday’s final round will decide the Barracuda Championship winner, who earns a PGA Championship berth but no Masters invitation.
