Albers shot a 66-70-67 over the 54-hole event, finishing with 17 birdies and ranking second in par-four scoring (5-under) and tied for fourth in par-four scoring (8-under). Albers has now shot under par in all 12 rounds this season with six of those rounds in the 60s.Â

On the year, Albers has posted a 69.00 scoring average as he is currently ranked 44th nationally by GolfStat.
