Sanderson Farms Championship leader Keith Mitchell set priorities straight- "Need to set up my fantasy football lineup"

Keith Mitchell holds a solo lead going into the final round of the Sanderson Farms Championship. For the final round, he has set his priorities straight, stating that he would like to set his fantasy football lineup first.

On Saturday, October 5, Mitchell fired a 7-under 65 to aggregate at 20-under after three rounds. He moved two spots up with the help of seven birdies, securing a one-shot lead over Beau Hossler after 54 holes.

Following his round, Mitchell was asked about his plans to mentally and emotionally prepare for the final round

"I definitely need to set my fantasy football lineup," he replied. "I haven't done that yet. I picked some guys off the waiver wire, and I gotta get it in before I tee off tomorrow. If I can do that, then I might actually go hit a few balls just to groove it because it felt good. Then I'll just do my normal routine tomorrow."

Keith Mitchell's only win on the PGA Tour came five years ago at the Honda Classic. He held a 54-hole lead at the Valspar Championship earlier this year but eventually finished T17 after shooting a 77 in the final round.

Acknowledging his past mistakes, the 31-year-old golfer said he hopes to learn from those this time.

"Because I would like to think I could have won more than once with my game and I haven't because I've succumbed to the pressure and tried to force things and did things out of my control and tried to really just win. You can't do that. You never know what's going to happen with the guys around you," he said during the post round interview on Saturday.
