The Sallisaw, Okla., native carded eight birdies during the round, including five on his back nine. Whitekiller's 5-under score was the low round of the day and vaulted him to the 36-hole lead.
With back-to-back birdies to open his third round, Whitekiller picked up where he left off before finishing with a 1-under 71 during his third round.
Whitekiller was joined in the field by OSU teammate Mark Johnson, who finished 57th at 238.
