Canadian Men's Mid-Amateur R3: Nachtigall Extends Lead to Two Over Rank Entering Final Round

Evan Nachtigall continued his wire-to-wire run at Brantford Golf & Country Club, carding a 4-under 68 in the third round to stretch his lead to two shots at 17-under 199 heading into the final round of the Canadian Men's Mid-Amateur Championship. Three-time champion Garrett Rank (2014-16) kept pace with a 3-under 69 to sit alone in second at 15-under, while Cam Burke surged into solo third at 13-under after a second consecutive 67. Simon McInnis fired the low round among the contenders with a 66 to climb into a tie for fourth at 10-under alongside Jaret Chipman and Noah Firestone.

Nachtigall has been the model of consistency through 54 holes, posting rounds of 64-67-68 without a single round over 68. The final round tee times are set for tomorrow with the leaders going off at 10:30 AM. Rank will need to apply early pressure to close the gap, but four shots separate third from the lead, making the championship increasingly a two-horse race. First-round co-leader Nolan vonKalckreuth and Haymes Snedeker have fallen off the pace, while Alex Large dropped from a tie for third to a tie for seventh at 9-under after a third-round 72. midamgolfHQ will be tracking the action from Brantford through the final round tomorrow.
