Dicciani closing in on the lead

June
30

Winning the PGA Professional National Championship is by no means a reach for Metropolis assistant Keith Dicciani.

He’s pretty darn close heading into today’s final round.

Dicciani made up ground and picked up momentum today, carding a 4-under 67 today at Twin Warriors Golf Club in Santa Ana Pueblo, N.M. He’s at 6-under 207 for the championship, two shots off the lead.

He should get a little airtime tomorrow on the Golf Channel, which is broadcasting from 3:30-6 p.m.

You can follow along here.

He’s got plenty of moral support. Metropolis head pro Craig Thomas is tied for 15th at 2-under.

A third invitation to play in the PGA Championship, which is extended to all of the golfers that finish inside the top 20 here, is within reach of St. Andrew’s assistant Greg Bisconti, who is tied for sixth at 209.
