PUERTO PLATA, Dominican Republic Trailing by four shots at the beginning of the day, American Brandon Matthews put on a furious start of eagle-birdie-birdie-par-birdie-birdie on his way to a third-round, 8-under 63 that took him to the top of the leaderboard at the Puerto Plata Open. The Temple University alum closed with a birdie at the last to move to 20-under, good for a four-shot advantage over 36-hole leader Alejandro Tosti of Argentina and fellow American Brendon Doyle. Tosti followed a pair of 63s with a 71, while Doyle carded a 68 Saturday.
