England’s Luke Donald fired a five-under par 66 to take a two-shot lead on Saturday after three rounds of the US PGA Tour’s Heritage.
Donald went into the round with a share of fourth place behind the leading trio of K.J. Choi, Jim Furyk and Ben Martin, who topped the leaderboard after the storm-disrupted second round was completed on Saturday morning.
Donald, who has two runner-up finishes and two third-place finishes in his past five starts in the $5.8 million event, had an eight-under total of 205 going into the final round.
American John Huh carded his second straight 68 at Harbour Town Golf Links to move into second place on 207.
Former major champions Charl Schwartzel of South Africa and Furyk were in a group sharing third on 208. Schwartzel carded a 68 and Fury posted a 71. They were joined by Martin (71), and Nicholas Thompson (68).
Matt Kuchar, who shared the first-round lead, posted a third-round 70 to join a group on 209 that also included Russell Knox, Brian Harman, Matt Every and Brian Stuard.
South Korea’s Choi, who had made it into the clubhouse on Friday on five-under 137 for his share of the halfway lead, settled for a third-round 74 that left him six-adrift on 211.
