07/17/2010 - Maineville, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tommy Gainey fired a 10-under 62 on Saturday and extended his lead after three rounds of the inaugural Chiquita Classic.
Gainey finished 54 holes at 24-under 192 and is four strokes clear at TPC River's Bend, as that 24-under score matched the Nationwide Tour's record for most strokes under par after 54 holes.
"It's a great layout. I'm not hitting it very far off the tee, but I'm hitting pretty straight," said Gainey. "I'm just making putts. I'm hitting some solid iron shots, hitting them pretty close and making putts. That's how I've shot the numbers I've shot so far."
Arjun Atwal was 24-under after three rounds of the 2008 Chattanooga Classic. Atwal went on to victory two years ago and if Gainey can match that feat, it would be his second win of the season.
Gainey captured the Melwood Prince George's County Open and is fifth on the Nationwide Tour money list. Even without a victory on Sunday Gainey is close to being a lock for a PGA Tour card next year through his spot on the money list. But another win would put him one away from the automatic PGA Tour promotion for winning three times in one season on the Nationwide Tour.
Colt Knost shot an eight-under 64 and is alone in second at minus-20. Justin Smith closed with a birdie and an eagle for a five-under 67 and is third at 18-under 198.
Everyone will be chasing Gainey, who got off to a great start on Saturday with a birdie at three and an unlikely eagle at the par-four second. Gainey two- putted for birdie on the par-five eighth and 11th holes, but was only two ahead.
Knost made three birdies in a four-hole span from the 11th to trim the margin to one. Gainey, playing in the group behind Knost, birdied 11 and hit a spectacular second from the rough to eight feet to set up birdie at 13. Gainey gave himself a tap-in birdie at the 14th to remain two in front.
Knost stopped making birdies, but Gainey didn't. At the 15th, Gainey hit his approach to six feet and drained the birdie effort. His putter stayed hot at the very next hole when he ran home a 30-footer for birdie to move four clear of Knost.
At the last, Knost made a birdie to momentarily cut the lead to three. Gainey reached the green in two at the par-five closing hole and converted his six- foot birdie putt to reach the Nationwide Tour record books.
Chris Kirk, the leading money winner on the Nationwide Tour, posted a four- under 68 and is tied for fourth place with first-round leader Peter Tomasulo (65) and Joe Affrunti (67). The trio is knotted at 17-under 199.
Jamie Lovemark (64), Darron Stiles (64), Scott Stallings (65), Dave Schultz (63), Geoffrey Sisk (66) and Brendan Steele (68) share seventh place at minus-16.
NOTES: Only 22 players of the 68 who made the cut failed to break 70 on Saturday...Gainey, known as "Two Gloves" since he wears gloves on both hands, was a contestant on The Golf Channel's "Big Break" series...With a win on Sunday, Gainey would move to first on the Nationwide Tour money list.
