Coody eyes wire-to-wire PGA Tour breakthrough victory

Pierceson Coody has topped the PGA Tour’s ISCO Championship leaderboard for the third straight day as he eyes a maiden victory in Kentucky.

Coody overcame a slow start on Saturday for a four-under 68 and a one-******* advantage from Harry Hall of England and Rico Hoey of the Philippines.

The 24-year-old grandson of 1971 Masters champion Charles Coody had a 20-under 196 total on Keene Trace’s Champions Course in the tournament co-sanctioned with the ********* tour.

“Every shot counts and I certainly want to be the front-runner, “Coody said. “My whole goal is just to…set myself up to go ****** a 7-, 8-under round and close things out the best I can.”

Hall and Hoey also are winless on the PGA Tour. Hall shot a bogey-free 64.

“The greens firmed up so much today compared to the start of the week that it might not be a shootout tomorrow,” Hall said.

Hoey bogeyed the par-4 18th for a 67. He had played 53 holes without a bogey.

“I’m very excited,” Hoey said. “I know I’m going to be very nervous. It’s a new situation that I’ve never been in.”

Sam Bairstow (62), Neal Shipley (66) and Johannes Veerman (67) were two strokes back at 18 under, with Lanto Griffin (67) and Chez Reavie (69) at 17 under.

Shipley was the low ******** at the Masters and U.S. Open. He’s making his third PGA Tour start as a professional.

Australia’s Aaron Baddeley was tied 51st at 10 under after a 70.
