COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Former Ohio State player Ryan Armour shot a 6-under 65 on Saturday to take the third-round lead in the Web.com Tour Finals-opening Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship.

Armour had a 12-under 201 total on Ohio State’s Scarlet Course for a one-stroke lead over Keith Mitchell, the leader after each of the first two rounds.

Mitchell had a 70. He missed a PGA Tour card by a stroke last week in the Web.com Tour’s regular-season finale in Oregon.

First-round leader Kevin Sutherland, McCarron's childhood rival in Sacramento, California, was tied for second with Miguel Angel Jimenez. Sutherland followed his opening 62 with a 67, and Jimenez shot..

If you're an avid golfer, New York City is most likely the last place on your list of areas to live. While there are plenty of great courses in shouting distance of Manhattan, lugging your clubs around the crowded streets and subways can become quite the chore. There's also Chelsea Piers, if you're into dropping $25 on 90 balls and waiting for a stall to hit out of.
A select, dedicated few find a way to make it work though, including this guy, whose neighbor caught him in the act out on his rooftop, grinding away:
