Cristian DiMarco separated himself by two shots over Henry Westmoreland during the third round of the 100th Amateur Championship. On a hot and humid summer day in Jupiter, those making the top 70 and ties cut went back to The Bear's Club to test their skills once again on Jack Nicklaus's golf course. After a long and grueling day, it is Cristian DiMarco who claims the top spot on the leaderboard heading into the home stretch and final round of the 100th Amateur Championship.
DiMarco started the third round off with his first bogey since the 12th hole of the first round, but bounced back with a birdie on the fourth hole to bring himself back to even par for the day. After an unusual double bogey, DiMarco quickly covered the blemish on his scorecard with two birdies to go out with an even-par 36. Getting off to a hot start on the back nine, Cristian would eagle the 10th hole and birdie the 12th to reach nine-under par. However, with some missed putts coming in, DiMarco would go on to bogey both the 13th and 18th holes to finish the third round with a one-under par 71. DiMarco is seven-under par for the tournament and holds a two-shot lead over Henry Westmoreland heading into the final round.
Henry Westmoreland of Wacissa also shot one-under par today and finished the third round five-under par for the tournament. Starting off with a bogey at the first, Westmoreland carded six consecutive pars before rolling in his first birdie of the day on the eighth hole. Making the turn at even-par, Westmoreland birdied the first two holes of the back nine to put himself, at the time, two shots back of DiMarco. A birdie at the 15th, along with two late bogeys made Westmoreland finish the third round with a one-under par round of 71. Sitting two shots off the lead going into the final round, Westmoreland will tee it up with DiMarco in the final pairing of the day off the first tee. 
The low round of the day came from 2014 State Amateur Champion, Gabriel Lench. With a round that consisted of five birdies and no bogeys, Lench was able to significantly move up the leaderboard on day three with a five-under par round of 67. The 100th Amateur had its third hole-in-one of the championship and second at The Bear's Club this week. Today, it was Dillon Woods who aced the seventh hole with an eight-iron. Using the hole-in-one as momentum, Woods moved into a tie for fourth place with a four-under par round of 68.
The final round of the 100th Amateur Championship will begin at 8 A.M. with tee times starting on the 1st and 10th tees. We encourage media and spectators to come out and watch the best amateur golfers in the state battle it out at The Bear's Club in hopes of hoisting the trophy tomorrow afternoon. Live Scoring will be available after players complete nine holes, however, the final four groups teeing off the first hole tomorrow will have hole-by-hole live scoring.
