Report from Web.com Tour website

WICHITA, Kan. – Sebastian Cappelen couldn’t have dreamed of a better scenario heading into the final round of the Air Capital Classic presented by Aetna. Cappelen, a Monday qualifier, fired his second straight 65 on Saturday afternoon at Crestview Country Club to grab the outright lead at 14-under 196.
PGA TOUR veteran Andre Gonzales is in second at 12-under 198 after a bogey-free 66.
Web.com Tour rookie Sung Joon Park (64), Matt Weibring (66), Blayne Barber (67) and Rob Oppenheim (67) are two-strokes off the pace.
Local favorite Aaron Watkins (71), who held the 36-hole lead, struggled on Saturday afternoon and finds himself four-strokes back along with amateur Ollie Schniederjans (65), Paul Claxton (67) and Jeff Gove (68).
Cappelen maintained his aggressive strategy off the tee using his driver most of the day but hit only eight fairways. With precise irons from the rough and a smooth putting stroke, the former University of Arkansas Razorback managed to keep his card clean in the third round. Coming off of the 18th green Cappelen looked over at the leaderboard and noticed his name at the top.
“I don’t know what to say, it’s all new to me,” he said. “I’m just trying to do what I know best, and that’s just play golf.”
Cappelen came to Wichita with something to prove. The 24-year-old pro from Denmark doesn’t have any travel plans past this week. A win on the Web.com Tour can change a young touring professional’s life and Cappelen is well aware of the opportunity that presents itself on Sunday afternoon.
“It’s my one shot as of now and there’s nothing guaranteed,” he said. “It’s the dream, sometimes dreams come true and for me it’s just happening right now.”
Gonzales has been playing steady all season and things seem to be trending in the right direction for him to get back in the winner’s circle this week. The Washington native has been working with Anne Marie Gildersleeve, a teaching professional, in Austin, Texas straightening out the 31-year old pro’s flight pattern which has given Gonzales confidence in the gusty conditions this week.
“I feel like I can control my trajectory really well,” he said. “I’m able to work shots both ways and I’m very comfortable over shots when I’m fighting the wind.”
Gonzales' iron game has been on point this week. The University of Las Vegas-Nevada alum hit 16 greens on Saturday afternoon but missed on a few chances once on the putting surfaces. Gonzales feels that if he can get a feel putts to go in early he can put a special round together on Sunday.
“I’m pleased with the way I’m playing,” he said. “I feel like I still have a really hot round coming.”
