This week: PGA Tour’s Travelers Championship, Thursday through Sunday, TPC River Highlands, Cromwell, Conn.
Moore’s third-round score: 2-under-par 68.
Stanley’s third-round score: Even-par 70.
Position: Moore (11-under 199) is tied for ninth, and Stanley (203) is tied for 26th. Paul Goydos leads at 194.
Recap: A real solid round again by Moore, who hit
all but one green in regulation, but made few of the putts for birdies.
He did attack the short par-3 holes on the back nine with 9-irons, and
was rewarded, making a 10-footer on the 11th (playing 158 yards), and a
4-footer on the 16th over water (playing 157 yards). … Stanley’s
mid-range putting hasn’t paid dividends this week in his professional
debut, and the Gig Harbor product had a golden chance when he peppered
a 3-wood from 263 yards out on the par-5 sixth to within 10 feet of the
hole. He missed his eagle attempt, but got to 8-under for the
tournament. That is as good as it got, because he made two bogeys in
the next four holes.
Moore’s tee time Sunday: 10:10 a.m. PDT with Jarrod Lyle.
Stanley’s tee time Sunday: 8:17 a.m. PDT with Peter Lonard.
