7,174 yards, par 72
RESULTS
Aaron Baddeley, 14 skins ($31,000)
Bubba Watson, three skins ($7,500)
Ben Crane, one skin ($1,500)
Ryan Moore, no skins ($0)
SKINS WINS
• 3rd hole (3 skins): On the par-3, Baddeley's chip stopped inches from the hole, and his tap-in par won out as Moore and Crane missed par putts shorter than 10 feet.
• 5th (2 skins): Only Watson had a realistic chance for birdie on this downhill par-4, and he made a 4-footer to win after a wonderful approach from the left fairway.
• 6th (1 skin): Crane's approach landed pin-high on the par-4. He watched Watson missed a 14-foot birdie putt, then calmly sank a 7-footer to nab the skin.
• 17th (11 skins): Baddeley was the only golfer to hit the par-3 green. In fact, the other three missed par putts before Baddeley attempted his 15-foot birdie putt. A tap-in par won the hole.
• 18th (1 skin): On the finishing par-5, Watson was the only one who went for the green in two shots. His chip from the right apron set up his 6-foot birdie putt, and skin clincher.
This week: Nationwide Tour's Albertsons Boise Open, Thursday through Sunday, Hillcrest Country Club, Boise, Idaho.
Third-round score: 5-under-par 66.
Position: Putnam (11-under 202) is tied for third, two strokes behind co-leaders Bill Lunde and Chris Tidland (200).
Recap: Can this be the week the Tacoma native pushes through for his first professional victory? He responded to a lackluster second round by making six birdies in his first 10 holes Saturday, and immediately climbing into contention. Three of his seven birdies came on the par-5s, and for the week, he's birdied the par-5 holes eight times in nine chances. The Pepperdine All-American recorded his best third round since his 65 at the Price Cutter Charity Championship in late July.
Tee time Sunday: 11:50 a.m. PDT with Hunter Haas.
