Eric Cole has put himself in position for another shot at a long-sought first PGA Tour victory, shooting a season-best seven-under 63 to take the third-round lead in the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial in Forth Worth, Texas.
Cole matched the best round of the tournament to get to 12-under 198, a stroke ahead of Ryan Gerard after he finished a round of 68 with back-to-back birdies. Mac Meissner (67) and reigning US Open champion J.J. Spaun (68) were two strokes back.
Chip-in to take the lead!
