Oliver Goss
has found some much needed late season form to post his first top-10 finish of
the year at Lincoln Land Charity Championship in Illinois.

The West
Australian roared into contention with a brilliant third round 62 and sustained
the good play into the final round with a 66 to finish T6.

Making the
weekend for just the sixth time in 15 starts on the secondary Tour this season,
Goss posted six birdies and an eagle in his third round score, a bogey at the
par-3 eighth his only blemish of the day.

The $17,806
cheque almost doubled Goss’ earnings for the year and jumped him from outside
the top-100 to 84^th on the money list.

Goss was one
of eight Australians in the field in Illinois and one of four to make the cut.

Scott
Gardiner, Peter Lonard and Brett Drewitt also played the weekend though none
could reproduce the form of Goss.

Gardiner was
next best at T50, the result an improvement on a run of four straight missed
cuts, while Drewitt (T55) and Lonard (T59) were also in the bottom half of the
field.

Steve Allan,
Mathew Goggin and Bryden Macpeherson missed the weekend’s play after the cut
fell at 4-under-par.
