Day takes 1-shot lead at Deutsche Bank
Golf Betting Lines
09/05/2010 - Norton, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Australia's Jason Day fired a five-under 66 on Sunday to take a one-shot lead over Brandt Snedeker after the third round of the Deutsche Bank Championship.
Chasing his second win of the season, and looking to make a big jump in the playoffs standings, Day birdied the 18th hole and tied the 54-hole tournament scoring record at 17-under 196.
Snedeker knocked his second shot at the 18th hole into a hazard short of the green, took a one-stroke penalty, then chipped-in for a closing par to shoot a 67.
After sharing the 36-hole lead with Day, Snedeker dropped one shot back at 16- under 197 with a Labor Day finish looming at the TPC Boston.
England's Luke Donald fired a 66 to move into third place at 15-under 198.
Defending champion Steve Stricker had a 67 and was tied with Charley Hoffman (69) at 13-under 200.
Phil Mickelson also shot a 67, chipping in for a birdie on the 15th hole, and moved into a four-way tie at 12-under 201 that also included Geoff Ogilvy (65), Adam Scott (65) and Charlie Wi (67).
Tiger Woods made three birdies in a four-hole span on the front nine, but cooled off for a 69 that moved him into a tie for 23rd place at seven-under 206.
Woods finished on a high note when he muscled a chip shot out of the rough behind the 18th green, landed it on the fringe and got it to roll within inches of the hole to set up a closing birdie.
It was his fourth birdie of the round, but first since No. 7. In the 10-hole span in between, Woods made two bogeys.
In addition to the FedEx Cup drama, there are the added implications Monday's finish will have on the No. 1 world ranking. Both Mickelson and Stricker have a chance to pass Woods for the top spot.
