Three Coloradans are still in the running for spots in the PGA Championship, but they’ll need a strong finish on Wednesday in the national PGA Professional Championship to get into contention.
Caine Fitzgerald of Parker, Doug Rohrbaugh of Carbondale and Ari Papadopoulos of Eagle Vail all survived the 54-hole cut in Verona, N.Y., but they’ll have to finish in the top 20 on Wednesday to qualify for the PGA Championship, scheduled for next month at Baltusrol in Springfield, N.J.
Through three rounds, Fitzgerald (pictured) shares 48th place at 2-over-par 218, while Rohrbaugh and Papdoupolos are tied for 57th at 219. After Tuesday, the top 20 mark included players at 2 under-par 214 or better.
Former PGA Tour player Omar Uresti maintained his lead in the PGA Professional Championship, checking in with a 205 total.
