Mac Meissner stays in front at Barracuda Championship

Mac Meissner logged a plus-13 on Saturday to maintain his one-point lead at the Barracuda Championship after three rounds of action in Truckee, California.

Meissner turned in a bogey-free round that included four birdies and an eagle at the par-5 third. He now sits at plus-39 for the tournament, which uses the Modified Stableford scoring system.

Under that scoring format, birdies are worth two points, eagles are worth five and albatrosses are worth eight. Each par is zero points. Bogeys are minus-1point, and anything worse, including double bogeys, are minus-3 points.

Vince Whaley was among three golfers who carded a round-best plus-16 on Saturday. He sits in second place, one point behind Meissner. The Philippines' Rico Hoey (plus-15 on Saturday) is in sole possession of third at plus-36.

Lightning delayed Saturday's action at 3:10 pm local time, with play resuming 95 minutes later. Meissner was about to tee off at No. 11 when the weather interrupted his round.

"Everyone is going to tell you it sucks, obviously, but you just got to try and get your mind off of golf a little bit," Meissner said of how he handled the delay. "Try and text friends. I was talking with my wife, hanging out with her, that was great. Certainly you're still thinking about golf, but as much as you can do to get your mind off of it then you've done well."

Patrick Fishburn (plus-15) and Max Greyserman (plus-11) are T4 at plus-34.

South Africa's Casey Jarvis and England's Marcus Armitage were the two other golfers to come away with plus-16s, and they find themselves in a tie for sixth alongside Chad Ramey (plus-12).

Jarvis had the highlight of the day with a hole-in-one at the 210-yard, par-3sixth.
