Metro PGA section trio in contention at PGA Professional National Championship

FLOURTOWN, Pa. — There will be no secrets in the last group of Wednesday’s final round of the 48th PGA Professional National Championship.

Ben Polland, Grant Sturgeon and Matt Dobyns work at Metropolitan PGA Section clubs that are located within a few miles of each other, and, in fact, Dobyns and Polland both were at Deepdale Golf Club at the same time.

On Tuesday, Polland, an assistant at Deepdale, lost all of a four-stroke lead but managed a 3-over-par 73, dropping him into a tie with Sturgeon (69), an assistant at famed Winged Foot Golf Club, with Dobyns (68), the head professional at Fresh Meadow Country Club, just one stroke back.
