Advertiser Staff

Honolulu's Parker McLachlin shot an even-par 72 today and was at 7-under 209 after the third round of the PGA Tour's Children's Miracle Network Classic at Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

The tournament is being played on the Walt Disney Resort's Magnolia Course. Scott Verplank and Stephen Ames led at 13-under 203.

McLachlin, a Punahou School alum, bogeyed the Nos. 1 and 9, both par-4s, and got a birdie on the par 3 No. 3. He added a birdie on the par-4 13th hole. He parred the last five holes.

The former UCLA golfer ranks 136th on the tour money list and needs to get to 125 to keep his full PGA-playing privileges.

McLachlin has earned $597,557 so far this season. The 125th player has earned $758,734.
