Ted Grassi, III fashioned a superb round of 4-under par 68 to climb into a tie with defending champion Tyler Cozad. Cozad shot 71 and both players sit at 1-under par for the tournament as the 100th EDGA Amateur Championship heads to the final round Sunday at the Kahkwa Club.

Grassi had birdies on 3 and 8 to make the turn at 2 under. He had his lone bogey on the 10th but then reeled off birdies on 12, 13 and 14 and then parred the final 4 holes to card the 4-under round. Cozad opened his round with a bogey but followed that with birdies on 4, 8 and 9 to also turn at 2-under. He then birdied 11 to get it to 3-under before bogies at 14 and 17 left him at 1-under where he finished.
Matt Barto, who is 3 shots back in third, also turned in 34. He bogied 10 and eagled 14 and was 3-under at that point but bogies at 15 and 16 and a double at 17 left him with a second consecutive 73.

Connor Bennink sits in fourth with 147 on rounds of 74 and 73. Three players are tied fifth at 149. Jon Merriott (74-75), Ed Podufal (73-76) and Jack Angelucci (73-76). Abe Holmes (80-70) and Ryan Ferry (74-76) and tied eighth while Drew Deimel (74-77) and Evan Rowane (74-77) round out the top 10.

Due to popularity of this year’s EDGA Amateur Championship, the Kahkwa Club has graciously decided to add a half hour of tee times to the field, which is the most players that the Club can host for this year’s event. There are still players on the waiting list but 9 more players will have a tee time for this year’s event, the 100th EDGA Amateur.
