ATLANTA - Steven Fisk was disappointed with his 2-under 70 in the third round of the 51st Dogwood Invitational, but the junior remains in contention going into the final day.

The Stockbridge native is tied for 10th at 11-under 205, only four shots behind a trio of players tied for the lead at the Druid Hills Golf Club.

"I wish it could have been better," he said. "I gave back a couple at the end."

Fisk shot 3-under 33 on the front nine, including an eagle on the ninth hole. That's about the time the rain began to hit the golf course and forced players to deal with wet clubs and clothes for the rest of the day. Fisk didn't use the rain as an excuse, but it was a contributing factor to his bogeys and No. 16 and 17.  

"I just have to come out and play on Saturday," he said.

There are 15 players within five shots of the lead, meaning Saturday could be one of the most frenetic finishes in the event's long and storied history.
Dawson Armstrong, a senior at Lipscomb University and 2015 Dogwood champion, shot a 70 on Friday and stands at 15-under 201. He is tied for the lead with Seton Hall graduate Lloyd Go and Campbell University senior Gaston Bertinotti, who each shot 67.

"It would mean a lot to win this tournament," Fisk said. "It's close to home, it's a good event with a good field. It's a fun golf course and has a great history. It would mean a lot to win it."

Senior Archer Price shot a 71 on Friday and is alone in 34th place at 5-under 211.
