Stricker's final hole eagle nets joint lead

NORTON, Massachusetts – Steve Stricker squeezed everything he could out of his final shot Sunday in the Deutsche Bank Championship, setting up an eagle that gave him a share of the lead in a tournament loaded with possibilities.

Stricker, who can overtake Tiger Woods atop the FedEx Cup standings with a victory, hit his hybrid to 5 feet on the par-5 18th for a 6-under 65. He was among a dozen players separated by three shots going into the Labor Day finish at TPC Boston.

Sean O’Hair, who started the blustery third round tied for the lead, overcame a sluggish start with birdies on two of the last three holes for a 70. Retief Goosen had a chance to take the outright lead until he failed to get up-and-down from a bunker on the 18th. He settled for a 68.             (AP)
