Overview
- Cink shot a bogey‑free 6‑under 64 on Saturday to move to 9‑under and take a one‑stroke lead over defending champion Pádraig Harrington entering the final round.
- Harrington carded a 66 to sit one back at 8‑under while George McNeill is two shots behind at 7‑under after a steady weekend showing.
- Cink arrives at Scioto with strong form, having won the Senior PGA Championship and the Regions Tradition this year and four times on the PGA Tour Champions season.
- Players said Scioto’s Donald Ross design has firm, undulating greens that punish off‑line shots and that high heat — temperatures near 95°F and a heat index about 103 — has affected focus and strategy.
- The final round will be played Sunday with Cink, Harrington and McNeill in the featured group and weather‑forecasts noting a nearby storm that could alter course conditions and scoring.
