Matt McCarty is the new leader of the Black Desert Championship

McCarty, a rookie in the lead

Matt McCarty also had to return to the Black Desert Resort course early on Saturday to conclude his second round. On this occasion, the American, who is only playing his second event on the PGA Tour, could have overtaken provisional leader Stephan Jaeger. If he did not seize his chance in the morning, the 26-year-old made up for it during the third round, which began straight away. Indeed, he returned a fantastic card of 64 (seven birdies, one eagle, two bogeys), to take solo control of the tournament (-19 total).
