Tyler Ware and Flynn McNabb's lead was trimmed to three shots after Saturday's third round of the San Angelo Country Club Men's Partnership golf tournament, as they look for a wire-to-wire victory on Sunday.

Ware and McNabb had a four-stroke advantage after Friday's second round, but they shot their highest score of the week so far in Round 2, but they're still sitting pretty at 67-65-68--200 (13-under par).

Two teams are tied for second -- John Duke Hudson and Colton Williams (68-68-67--203) and Luke Healy and Mike Hills (69-67-67--203).
