Mullinax leads George Cunningham, Stephan Jaeger and Stephen Franken by three strokes. “I know I’m playing well so I just need to stay patient,” the former Crimson Tide golfer said. “Guys are going to make birdies out there. These guys are really good. You never know if you’re going to be even-par through 14 holes and then birdie the rest of them. This is what you want to do, you want to have a chance on Sunday. I’m going to enjoy it and have fun playing on Sunday.”
