Under windy conditions that were breezy to gusty, two-time defending District Champion Trevor Sluman posted a 1-over-par 73, bringing his three-day total to 3-under-par 213. Sluman extended his lead in the Championship to 7 shots as play enters the fourth and final day on Saturday.
 

Four-time RDGA District Champion Jim Scorse, right, posted a course-record 65 on Friday.
    
Moving up to second place overall in Round 3 was Monroe’s Tim Spitz, with a 2-under-par 70 on Friday for a 54-hole total of 220.
 
The biggest mover in Round 3, however, was 4-time District Champion Jim Scorse of Stafford. Scorse posted three birdies on the front 9 and four on the back for a new course record of 7-under-par 65. Scorse’s three-round total of 221 is good for a third-place tie with Jack Gianniny of CCR, who posted a 73 on Friday.
