Daniel Svärd sits atop leaderboard heading into final round of the Manitoba Open

Daniel Svärd leads by two strokes heading into the final round of the Manitoba Open, after carding a 6-under 64 in Saturday's third round. Svärd is followed by Adam Duncan (12 under) and Austin Greaser (10 under).

Svärd (Stockholm, Sweden) surged to a two-stroke lead Saturday with the round of the day, a 6-under 64 that moved him to 14 under. Svärd made seven birdies against one bogey and went out in 5-under 30, highlighted by four birdies in a five-hole stretch from Nos. 4 through 8. The Northwestern graduate, making just his fourth professional start after finishing No. 19 in the 2026 PGA TOUR University Ranking, entered the week No. 120 on the Points List. A victory would project him to No. 16 and move him firmly into contention for a top-10 finish and Korn Ferry Tour membership.

Duncan (Bakersfield, California) enters Sunday two strokes back after posting a third consecutive 66. Duncan carded six birdies against two bogeys on Saturday and closed with a birdie on the last hole to reach 12 under. The 23-year-old entered the week No. 189 on the Points List and is seeking his first top-five finish in his ninth start of the season.

Greaser (Vandalia, Ohio) played alongside Svärd in Saturday’s final group and carded a 2-under 68 to reach 10 under, four strokes off the lead. Greaser made five birdies against three bogeys and touched 11 under after three birdies in a row on Nos. 8 through 10. The 2021 U.S. Amateur runner-up will play in the penultimate group Sunday as he seeks his first top-10 finish of the season.
