MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — Carson Young holed a 30-yard flop shot for eagle on the par-5 15th and shot a 7-under 64 in rainy conditions Saturday to take the third-round lead in his home-state Oneflight Myrtle Beach Classic.

Young, the 30-year-old former Clemson player from Anderson, South Carolina, had a 13-under 200 total at the Dunes Golf and Beach Club.

“It’s been cool to have family out here and a bunch of support with friends,” Young said. “I hear a bunch of `Go Tigers!’ out there. ... It’s cool to be here in my home state playing golf.
