BOSTON, Massachusetts: Brett Wetterich fired a
five-under 66 here Sunday to claim a one-stroke lead after the third
round of the US$7-million Deutsche Bank Championship.
Wetterich posted his best round
since June as he moved to 13-under 200 in the tournament which
concludes Monday on the US Labor Day holiday.
He was one shot in front of
fellow American Arron Oberholser, who also carded a 66 for 201.
Wetterich, whose only PGA Tour
victory came at the Byron Nelson Classic in 2006, eagled the
par-five seventh to take the lead and maintained it despite missing
a pair of short putts at 16 and 18.
After seizing a share of the lead
halfway through the round, Tiger Woods had an uncharacteristic late
stumble, three-putting the final two holes, to finish with a 67 in
the second event of the inaugural FedEx Cup playoff series.
“I’m going to have to
actually shoot a really low round tomorrow and hopefully it’ll be
enough,” said Woods, who was three shots off the lead at 203.
