IRVING, Texas -- Jason Dufner's 1-under 69 was enough to keep aone-stroke lead Saturday heading into the final round of the ByronNelson Championship. Unfazed by more breezy conditions, Dufner is now 8-under 202 with aone-stroke lead over Jason Day, J.J. Henry and Dicky Pride. Similar conditions as (Friday), so probably helped me a littlebit, just being comfortable with the wind and how hard it wasblowing, Dufner said. Good ball striking, hit a lot of greens..
Didn't feel like I was scrambling too much, trying to save parsor out of position, anything like that. Three weeks after getting his first PGA Tour victory at NewOrleans, and two weeks after getting married, Dufner is alreadytrying to win again. Matt Kuchar, who won The Players Championship last weekend, was ina group of eight players four shots back after a 72 with anup-and-down back nine. Kuchar, the fifth-ranked player in the world, still has a chance tobecome the first PGA Tour player since Tiger Woods in 2009 to winin consecutive weeks. There were 20 players within five strokes of the lead.
And10th-ranked Phil Mickelson was among of group of seven more playersonly one more back. Henry had three birdies on the back nine after two bogeys on theeasier front nine in a round of 67. Pride, who has been playingprofessionally for 20 years, got his only PGA Tour victory in 1994. I threw my caddie in the air trying to figure out the wind, Pride said jokingly after his round of 69. Grass, I couldn'tsee.
Vijay Singh, a 34-time PGA Tour winner whose last victory was in2008, had a 66 Saturday. He was two strokes back after aneagle-birdie-bogey finish. After his 38-foot eagle putt at thepar-5 16th, he made a 5-foot birdie at No. 17 but missed a par puttof the same distance on the last hole. I've been looking forward to this position, he said.
My gamehas been coming around, but there wasn't any signs of scoring andthis s the first day where I kind of went out there and scoredwell. PGA rookie Jonas Blixt from Sweden (67) and Marc Leishman (71) weretied for sixth at 205. Ryan Palmer, the 2011 Nelson runner-up after losing in a playoff,shot a 72 in the final group. He was with Kuchar and defendingNelson champion Keegan Bradley (71) in that group of eight at 2006.
Kuchar was 8 under and leading after consecutive birdies to starthis back nine, with a 32-foot putt at No. 10 and hitting hisapproach at No. 11 inside 3 feet. After hitting his tee shot at No. 12 into a fairway bunker, he hada chance to save par but missed a 6-foot putt.
His tee shot at the180-yard 13th stopped 4 inches from the pin for a tap-in birdiethat got him back to 8 under and the lead, but that didn't lastlong. An errant drive on No. 14 led to a drop, then he had to punch backinto the fairway before his approach to the back fringe of thegreen and a double bogey. His approach out of the rough at the nexthole found a greenside bunker and he missed a 7-footer for par. Bradley was only one stroke off the lead when his drive at No.
11was way right. His shot from there went over the green and trickledinto the water, leading to a triple bogey that took him to 4 under,where he finished. Mickelson had five birdies and four bogeys for a round of 69. Hefailed to make up any ground even after holing a 42-foot chip shotat No.
18, where he finished with double bogey Friday. I am Transportation writer, reports some information about trailer tires rims , exotic golf carts.
