Hot scoring was the order of the day at the MMC Northern Territory PGA Championship as Jack Wilson and Damien Jordan fired into the lead.

Shooting 7-under 64 on Saturday, Wilson was inspired by the sage wisdom of his now infamous caddy, Rizz, and heads into the final round on 14-under the card.

“I set myself the goal of shooting 6-under each day on the weekend, I thought it might be enough, so to shoot 7-under today was really good,” said Wilson.

“I have been on the phone to Rizz a couple of times and ‘unreal brother’ has been the theme. He is just calming which is what he is there for.

“But he is learning about golf, his message yesterday was ‘good work on capitalising on the par-5’s maybe you should work on the par-4’s now.’ So the backhanded compliments are what he does best,” added Wilson who played the par-4’s in 4-under and the par-5’s in 3-under today.

With a big end to the year coming up, Wilson, who won the 2013 WA PGA Championship as a PGA Trainee, is looking for his second career win to lock up his ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia card before turning his attention to the Asian Tour.

“I really started to find a groove around that back-9 today, hopefully, it can roll on,” added Wilson.

“I have been putting in a bit of work, we have a big summer coming up and I need to finish well in Asia, so to get some form and get that confidence boost would be a big help.”

Playing in the group behind Wilson, Jordan fired 6-under 65 to ensure his place in the lead heading into the final round.

“Once again the putter was good to me today, I was holing putts at the right time and so I am happy to be up there with Jack (Wilson),” said Jordan.

“I was 4-under through the turn and made a soft bogey on 12. But I knew there were some good holes coming up to get it back and I managed to make some good putts.”

Jordan is also chasing his second ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia victory after he won the 2017 Victorian PGA Championship.

“I have been here before and managed to get the win. Every day is different but I definitely have some confidence from that win,” added Jordan.

“I just need to play within myself. I know what I can and can’t do so I need to play to my strengths and just worry about myself. I can’t control what Jack (Wilson) is doing.”

Sitting two shots off the lead, Cameron John (VIC) and Campbell Rawson (NZL) each fired 6-under 65 in the third round.

A shot further back on 11-under the card and rounding out the top-5 are Queenslanders Maverick Antcliff and Daniel Nisbet.
