Shingler leads State Open entering final round

Haymarket’s Scott Shingler shot a 3-under-par 68 for an 8-under 134 to maintain the lead at the State Open of Virginia at Independence Golf Club in Midlothian.

A mid-amateur in his early 50s, Shingler led Justin LaRue of Longwood University and Mehrbaan Singh, a Virginia Tech golfer from Ashburn, by one stroke entering Sunday’s final round. LaRue grew up in Chesterfield County, not far from the course.

Brandon Sipe, a homeschooled rising ninth-grader from Yorktown, fired his second consecutive 70 to easily make the cut. Gloucester High graduate Josh Speight (72-68) from The Club at Viniterra, who played in this year’s PGA Championship, joined him at 140.

Patrick Gareiss (141) of Chesapeake and former Christopher Newport star Robb Kinder (144) also made the cut.
