Barracuda Championship 2016: Saturday Leaderboard Scores and Highlights

With three rounds in the book at the Barracuda Championship at Montreux Golf and Country Club in Reno, Nevada, Greg Chalmers holds the lead with 39 points after recording 15 on Saturday. 

As a reminder for fans wondering how a golfer could have a lead with 39 points, the Barracuda Championship is being played under the Modified Stableford format, which rewards and deducts points depending on how each golfer fares.

Here is the scoring system:

Score	Points Rewarded
Double Eagle	8
Eagle	5
Birdie	2
Par	0
Bogey	-1
Double Bogey or Worse	-3

This is what the leaderboard looks like after three rounds of play:

Place	Golfer	Total Score	Round 3 Score
1	Greg Chalmers	39	15
T2	Ben Martin	33	16
T2	Gary Woodland	33	11
4	Martin Laird	28	6
5	Steve Wheatcroft	27	9
6	Will MacKenzie	26	8
T7	Wes Roach	25	13
T7	Bronson Burgoon	25	11
T7	Colt Knost	25	4

After an early bogey on No. 1, Chalmers put together a solid round Saturday, recording eight birdies on the day.

While his driving and greens in regulation were average, Chalmers' putting set him apart from the field, gaining 3.643 strokes in his round.

He does have an interesting routine when lining up for his putts, but it's been working.

The PGA Tour showed his birdie on No. 9:

Ben Martin and Gary Woodland are six points behind Chalmers with 33 points apiece. Martin used a big 16-point day to jump up eight spots on the leaderboard and settle into a tie for second. 

He had a clean day, with his front and back nines mirroring each other with four birdies apiece. 

Martin was able to set himself up in favorable situations thanks to his driving ability, averaging more than 314 yards per shot.

Entering the 18th hole, Woodland was two points behind Martin after a bogey on No. 17, but a birdie on the final hole of the day drew him into a tie for second.

Woodland was in first entering Saturday and had a clean round through his first 16 holes before his bogey on No. 17.

Given the course's ability to yield high scores, Martin and Woodland are still in the thick of things. Chalmers, who is looking for his first career PGA Tour win, could be affected by the pressure and play conservatively Sunday. 

However, whoever stays aggressive Sunday will likely take home the title.
