Hudson Takes Tennessee Amateur Lead

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Bobby Hudson (Memphis) shot a third-round 5-under-par 67 on Thursday, and at 8-under, takes the lead into the final round of the 92nd Annual Tennessee Amateur Championship, which is being conducted at historic Belle Meade Country Club. Hudson is a sophmore standout at the University of Texas.

First- and second-round leader Spencer Provow, who shot 66-68 his first two rounds, skied to a 79 Thursday and stands at 3-under for the tournament, five shots behind Hudson.

Trailing Hudson by two is Craig Smith (Springfield) who finished the third round with a 67 giving him a three day total of 210 (-6). Wes Roach (Knoxville) will round out the final group tomorrow after firing a one-under par 71, giving him a total of 211 (-5). Kingston's Chas Narramore is also at 211 after a disappointing three-over par 75.

Brent Long (Carthage), a senior at Western Kentucky, turned in the round of the day, firing a six-under par 66. That put Long in a tie for seventh place at 213 (-3). Former Tennessee Amateur champions Tim Jackson (Germantown) and Danny Green (Jackson) are lurking at 212 (-4), just four strokes behind. Jackson, who started off the championship with a 68, shot 75 in the second round but made up ground today with a three-under par 69. Danny Green has taken a more consistent approach, returning rounds of 72-70-70.

Tomorrows final round will begin at 8:00 a.m. with the leaders teeing off at 9:30 a.m.
