Chris DiMarco will begin Sunday with a chance to win his first PGA Tour Champions title, starting the final round (-9) within one shot of co-leaders Ernie Els and Greg Chalmers (-10). He’ll play in the second-to-last group after his third-round 71.
One key to his play this week: when his caddie speaks to him, he listens. On his bag this week is Amy DiMarco, Chris’s wife of 32 years. She knows his game well, having looped for him in his early days playing the developmental tours on his road to the PGA Tour.

“I’ve had some great caddies in my career,” said DiMarco, who fought his way to a round of 71 to stay in contention. “She’s the best, because she is so positive. I hit it in the fairway, she’s like, ‘All right, knock it on the green.’
“I can ask, ‘What do you think?’ and she goes, ‘I don’t know. Just put it on the green.’ Then I get it on the green and she goes, ‘knock it in.’ So it’s pretty simple math.”
And what do the two talk about between shots? DiMarco smiled.
“Grandkids,” he said.
