Munoz retains control at Greenbrier Classic
Sebastian Munoz retained his lead at the Greenbrier Classic after shooting a two-under 68 to get to 14 under on Saturday.
Despite being ranked outside the top 400 in the world rankings, Munoz is trying to win wire-to-wire this week after an opening-round 61.
Munoz hung around even par throughout most of his third round, which allowed others to catch him.
But the Colombian birdied two holes on the back nine to regain the lead heading into the final round.

Jamie Lovemark, still searching for his first PGA Tour win, and U.S. Open breakout star Xander Schauffele head into Sunday tied for third at 11 under.
