Bryn Parry, who had a 4-shot lead after two rounds, struggled to a 3-over 75 at Point Grey Golf and Country Club, but he is still within one shot and tied for second at 9-under 207. He is tied with Drew Weaver (66), Ty Dunlap (68) and Adam Svensson (68).
Riley Wheeldon (66), Kevin Vanden Heuvel (70) and Logan McCracken (71) are one shot further back and tied for sixth at minus-8.

Three holes later he drained a birdie on No. 5 and then ripped off five straight pars from No. 6.
Myers then ran off four straight birdies from No. 11, which pushed him all the way up to minus-10. He ended there after finishing up with four pars from 15.
