SEAN O'Hair overcame a recent birdie drought to claim a share of the lead in another day of low scoring at the Deutsche Bank Championship on Saturday in Norton, Massachussets.
O'Hair was 8-under par in an eight-hole stretch in the middle of his round, sending him to a 7-under 64 and a share of the lead with Jim Furyk after 36 holes on the TPC Boston.
O'Hair and Furyk, who made six birdies in his round of 67, played in the same group with Retief Goosen, who had a 67 and wound up two shots behind. The threesome combined to make 17 birdies and one eagle.
"It can either help your or it can really hurt you," O'Hair said of watching his partners making putts. "If you get impatient out there, it can be a detriment. But with the attitude I had out there the last couple of days, it was nice."
Tiger Woods shot a 67, but was still seven shots behind.
O'Hair and Furyk were at 12-under 130, two shots clear of Goosen and Marc Leishman, who had a tournament-low 62. Nearly half the field of 99 players shot in the 60s.
Scott Verplank was among a group of players at 9-under 133 that included Justin Leonard, Mike Weir and John Senden, who recorded the rarest shot in golf.
Senden made a double eagle on the par-5 second hole, holing out from 250 yards with a 4-iron. He shot a 64.
Meanwhile, Alexander Noren of Sweden shot an 8-under 63 on Saturday to take a two-stroke lead after the third round of the European Masters in Switzerland.
Charl Schwartzel of South Africa is second and Bradley Dredge is third.
