LEWISTON, N.Y. (July 26, 2013) -- Taylor Pendrith fired a third-round 7-under 63 to surge all the way to the top of the leaderboard at the Porter Cup.

Pendrith, an incoming senior at Kent State from Ontario, followed rounds of 68- 66 with the round of the tournament and is one shot up on first-round leader Justin Shin, also of Ontario by way of the University of New Mexico.

Tyler Dunlap held the overnight lead but shot even par 70 on a day that others went low. He's now alone in third place, two back of Pendrith.


A number of contenders are within striking distance, including Australia's Brady Watt (9-under, 4th), Beau Hossler and Cameron Wilson (6-under, T5) and Gavin Hall (5-under, T7).

West coast stars Bryson Dechambeau and Max Homa are at 4-under.

The final round in the prestigious 72-hole, no- cut event will be played Saturday from Niagara Falls Country Club.

One of the premier amateur events in the nation, this 72-hole stroke play invitational has lots of extra activities that give this event a special flavor. The winning player receives a green blazer, as well as an invitation to the Master of the Amateurs tournament in Melbourne, Australia.

Starting in 2023, the men's and women's Porter Cup championships are run concurrently with 54 players in each field and alternating tee times. It's been exciting seeing the top players in each division in final pairings on the par-3 18th hole at Niagara Falls CC, with large galleries always appreciative of the rising talent.
