Lake Buena Vista, FL (Sports Network) - A day after struggling to complete his
round, Charlie Beljan put together a 1-under 71 on Saturday to finish three
rounds of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic with a 2-stroke
lead.
Beljan ended 54 holes at 13-under-par 203. He will go for his first tour title
on Sunday and needs to finish no worse than solo 13th to keep his tour card
for next year.
He is 139th on the money list and needs a good finish and that is one reason
he didn't withdraw from the tournament.
On Friday, Beljan battled a rapid heart rate and struggled with his breathing
throughout the round. He spent the night in the hospital and got about an hour
of sleep before being released Saturday morning.
Brian Gay and Josh Teater both shot 5-under 67 on Saturday. They moved into a
share of second place at minus-11 with Charlie Wi (70). Wi bogeyed the final
two holes to drop out of a share of the lead.
Camilo Villegas, who is 150th on the money list, managed a 2-under 70 to end
at 10-under-par 206. He shares fifth place with Henrik Stenson (71), Robert
Garrigus (70), Daniel Chopra (70), Vaughn Taylor (68), Matt Every (70) and
Tommy Gainey (70).
The third round was played on the Magnolia Course at Walt Disney World Resort
after players split the first two rounds on the Magnolia and Palm Courses,
while playing with amateur partners.
