The 29-year-old athlete thus finished each of the rounds of this event in the lead, he who had started his career with an impressive card of 62 (-9).
On his third outing, he hit the white object 67 (-4) times, his worst round of the competition. He also paid a little scare on the back nine, committing two bogeys, but he recovered with an eagle at the 17th pennant. He also added four more birdies throughout his round.
Poston still saw his lead drop to three strokes, he who will be chased by his compatriots Scott Stallings and Denny McCarthy, as well as the Argentinian Emiliano Grillo. Stallings is the member of this trio who gave the best card, Saturday, with a 64 (-7).
The two Canadians still in contention can hardly hope for a victory on Sunday, but they are still well positioned. Michael Gligic, by virtue of a cumulative of 201 (-12), shares 10th place, while Adam Svensson is a shot behind, tied for 16th position.
