Tyson Alexander’s card was nothing if not colorful on Saturday. Playing at Colorado altitude, the University of Florida product alternated birdie with bogey quite symmetrically for the first five holes before following his birdie at No. 5 with another one at No. 6.
And then another bogey at No. 7.
By the end of the day, Alexander had pieced together a 1-under 71 and had caught Taylor Moore in the lead position at the TPC Colorado Championship.
Alexander, 32, has already won once in this Korn Ferry Tour super season. He claimed the trophy at the Veritex Bank Championship back in April. But the results since have been spotty. He missed three cuts in a row in May and early April and has missed 19 cuts in 33 events played since January 2020.
Still, Colorado could be his week.
Second-round leader Taylor Moore lost his advantage despite a 3-under 69. He and Alexander both will enter the final round at 14 under. Behind that? Tour veteran Tag Ridings, 46, at 12 under.
Located about an hour north of Denver, the course officially checks in at 7,991 yards, making it the longest ever on the Korn Ferry Tour.
