Butte golfer Lee Montoya is in contention heading into the final round of the 57th Montana State Senior Championship golf tournament.
Montoya followed Tuesday’s 75 at Fairmont Hot Springs with a 1-over-par 73 Wednesday at the Old Works. He sits at 148 and in a second-place tie heading into Thursday’s final round at the Butte Country Club.
Play begins with an 8 a.m. shotgun start.
Billings’ Calvin Stacey, the 2012 champion, leads the way. He followed a first-round 73 with an even-par 72 at the Old works for a 145 total. Stacey and Montoya sit one-two in the Freshman Flight 1. Sophomore Flight 1 leader Ron Garland of Bozeman is tied with Montoya at 148.
