American duo shares lead at The Barclays
Print Edition
Gary Woodland rolled in a four-foot par putt on the 18th to post a 3-under 68 on Saturday and take a share of the lead at The Barclays with fellow American Matt Kuchar.
Kuchar, who led after the second round concluded on Saturday morning, fired a 1-under 70 in round three. He and Woodland finished 54 holes at 12-under par 201.
Another marathon day on Saturday got the tournament in Jersey City, New Jersey, back on schedule for the first time since weather delays totalling nearly six hours on Thursday.
Kevin Chappell moved into contention by firing a course-record, 9-under 62 in the third round. That vaulted him into third place at minus 11.
Playing with a sore back, Tiger Woods shot a 2-under 69 and was four shots back of Kuchar and Woodland.
England’s David Lynn also posted a 69 on Saturday afternoon and joined Woods in a tie for fourth at 8-under 205.
Defending champion Nick Watney shared 13th place after a third-round 69 for 207.
Despite the back pain, Woods climbed up the leaderboard with four birdies in his final 11 holes. “It starts off great every day, and then it progressively deteriorates as the day goes on,” said Woods, who had trouble bending over at times.
