DUNCAN – JP Roller lit up The Territory with a 7-under 65 Tuesday, and needed every birdie to maintain a one-shot lead over Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen entering the final round of the Oklahoma Golf Association Stroke Play Championship.

Roller, of Jenks and bound for Texas Tech in the fall, moved to 12-under through 36 holes after an opening 67. Neergaard-Petersen, an Oklahoma State sophomore from Denmark, bettered his opening 67 with a 66 Tuesday and is one back at 11-under.

Four shots behind in third place is Carson Tewell of Edmond after consecutive rounds of 68 put him at 8-under. Drew Mabry of Tulsa reeled off a 67 to move into a tie for fourth with Jaxon Dowell of Edmond (69-69) and Oklahoma State golfer Brian Stark (69-69) at 6-under 138.

The field was cut to the low 30 and ties for Wednesday’s final round.

Roller started his round with a bogey on the first hole, then reeled off nine birdies against one more bogey for the 65. Neergaard-Petersen made five birdies on the front nine for a 31, then birdied 10 and 11 before cooling off with one bogey and six pars the rest of the way.

Notes: Defending champion Heath Myers of Kingfisher is tied for 16th after a second-round 69. In a rare father-son appearance, long-time Ping rep and former OU All-American Rick Bell edged out son Ryan Bell by four shots, although neither made the cut. Defending OGA State Amateur champion Jordan Wilson is tied for ninth with Logan McAllister of OU at 4-under. University of Arkansas golfers Tyson Reeder of Edmond and Mason Overstreet of Kingfisher are among those tied for 12th at 3-under.
