FOLEY, Ala. — Parkland College, powered by a sensational round by Kristian Kristensen, leapt into the lead after the third round Wednesday at the NJCAA Division II Men’s Golf Championship.

The freshman from Denmark missed tying the course record by one shot with an 8-under 64 on the Vista Dunes Course at the GlenLakes Golf Club. The Cobras shot 11-under as a team to move to 1-over through 54 holes. They lead second-round leader Meridian Community College by two shots and last year’s runners-up Mississippi Gulf Coast by six.

South Mountain is four at 10-over, and Abraham Baldwin is fifth at plus-18.

Because of expected weather delays Thursday, the tournament committee will be making a cut to the field to better ensure the 72-hole tournament can be completed. The top 15 teams will play in the final around, plus the top-24 teams and any player within 15 strokes of the individual leader. A statement from the tournament director can be found below.

Southeast’s Noah Hofman and South Mountain’s Jeffrey Miller lead the individual standings at 6-under. Kristensen and South Mountain’s Leon D’Souza are tied for third a shot back.

Kristensen made eight birdies and no bogeys in the lightning-interrupted round.

The teams endured a pair of weather delays caused by pop-up storms with lightning. There was a 75-minute delay starting at 11:30 a.m., and a 40-minute break starting at 4:40 p.m.

The fourth round will tee off Thursday at 7 a.m. from holes 1 and 10.
