However, he gave those two strokes back with bogeys on the ninth and 12th. McCarthy flew into a share of the lead with birdies at 13 and 15, as well as one on the 18th.<\/p>\n
NOTES: Harmon, who is No. 4 on the Order of Merit, has a chance to improve his position in that race as Joel Dahmen and Brock Mackenzie, Nos. 1 and 3 on the Order of Merit, missed the cut, while No. 2 Tim Madigan and No. 5 Josh Persons are well down the leaderboard … Gligic could also jump as high as third on the Order of Merit with a win and McCarthy could move to sixth … Seven of the 10 PGA Tour Canada events have been won by the third-round leader this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
