BLAINE, Minn. — Seventy-four fellow golf professionals, Mother Nature and a nagging blister. All tried to hold Scott Piercy back Saturday at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine.
In the end — surprise! — it was the beast of the 18th hole that so many others have found cumbersome finally opening the door just a crack to derail his momentum.
Staring into the last minutes of a fading sun, Piercy woefully mishit his second shot over the water. The splashdown led to a bogey but his 5-under-par 66 has him at 18 under for the tournament, a four-stroke lead going into Sunday's final round.
