The fight for the 2013 PGA of BC PDP title has tightened up considerably, as only three points separate the top three point-getters.

Matt Palsenbarg of Northview Golf & Country Club was the leader when the PDP points race was last updated, but his lead has narrowed significantly, with Gleneagles Golf Course's James Presnail only one point behind.

July leader Dave Zibrik of Seymour Creek Golf Centre fell to second in the last update and is now in third place, only three points behind Palsenbarg's 99 points.

The total purse of $6,000 includes $2,000 for first place, $1,500 for second and $1,000 for third, all the way down to $250 for sixth place.

Rounding out the top six are Jesse Crowe of the PGA of BC at 89 points, 10 behind Palsenbarg, Chad Scott of The Harvest Golf Club at 85 and Derek Thornley of The Golf Institute at Fraserview at 78 points.

Just out of the money but nipping at Thornley's heels are Kelowna Golf and Country Club's Rob Anderson, at 77 points and Myles Johnson of Spallumcheen Golf & Country Club at 76 points.

The PDP race runs until the end of the year, with the final awards given out in January.

404 of the PGA of BC's 649 current members have registered at least one point in this year's PDP race.
