- In the third round of the 102nd Metropolitan, Tyler Goecke extended his lead to six shots with an impressive score of 64. However, his streak of bogey-free golf ended with a bogey on the short par-4 14th hole. Goecke wasn't the only player to post a 64 today; Colin Schadek, a sophomore on the University of Findlay’s golf team and Liberty Township resident, and Brody Simms, a Cleveland State golfer, both had bogey-free rounds of 64. Colin and Brody are tied for third place heading into the final round tomorrow, six shots behind Timmy Hollenbeck, the WSU golfer and Horizon Conference Freshman of the Year, who stands at 11-under-par after a third-round 67.
