• Puerto Plata Open: Shot a third-round 64, the low round of the day, and moved into a one-shot lead in the Dominican Republic with 18 holes to play. Hurt his chances with bogeys on Nos. 6 and 8 on his front nine before making eight straight pars. Finished the day with back-to-back bogeys to fall into a T3 with Alex Rocha, four shots behind winner Cristobal Del Solar.
