PHILADELPHIA — Grant Sturgeon shot a 1-under 69 on Tuesday at Philadelphia Cricket Club for a share of the third-round lead with Ben Polland in the PGA Professional National Championship.
Sturgeon, a PGA assistant pro at Winged Foot in Mamaroneck, New York, made a 15-foot par putt on the final hole on the Wissahickon Course to match Polland at 4-under 208.
Polland, a PGA assistant professional at Deepdale in Manhasset, New York, bogeyed the last two holes for a 73.
"It's been a lot of struggles for three days here. I hit a lot of good shots and a lot of good putts today that didn't go in," Sturgeon said.
