Neal Shipley will enter the final round of the Korn Ferry Tour Price Cutter Charity Championship on Sunday four strokes behind leader Chandler Blanchett.

The Mt. Lebanon native and Central Catholic graduate shot a 4-under par 68 during Saturday’s third round at Highland Springs Country Club in Springfield, Mo., and cut Blanchett’s lead to four.

Blanchett, who had two consecutive 10-under par rounds, shot a 3-under par 69 Saturday and is 23-under.

Shipley is tied for second place with Kevin Dougherty at 19-under. Dougherty fired a 10-under par 62 in the third round.

Shipley has two wins on the Korn Ferry Tour and needs one more victory this season to earn a “battlefield promotion” and his PGA Tour card.
