Brad Frase shot a -7 the 3rd round, he is at -9 with Blaine now. Blaine has 5 holes remaining though. Talor still at -6 with 2 others,    HANG on Taylor.

Taylor finishing tied for 8 in that field is some very good shooting. Matt Travis 16 and Dave Nelson 26 is a good showing for Discontinuum members.

I had Dave Nelson deliver Blaine an ice cold Coors prior to pulling out his putt today  .

Might as well keep the tradition going of breaking the drinking rule.

Blaine had some lead card jitters.  His putting started off horrible.  Jamie and Tony started off like no one told them they were out of it.  Taylor played really steady and had it all tied up eight holes into it. 

On hole 9, I think it was, the one that goes up a steep hole and then around to the right about 100 feet, Taylor had the best drive of the four.  He gacked his upshot, missed his par save out of the schule, and then missed a 10 foot drop in putt.  After that Blaine settled down and started hitting some putts. 

Jamie and Tony actually played better than the score would say.  On the last couple of holes when it was desperation time they ran some really long putts at the basket trying to make up a stroke, and ran them past for a three putt.  At that point they could have played for second, so hats off to them for playing for the W.
