Furyk takes control, leads by 3
PALM HARBOR, Florida – Jim Furyk was one round away from ending the longest drought of his career after shooting a bogey-free 4-under 67 Saturday to build a three-shot lead at the Transitions Championship.
“I’m in a great position in the tournament,” said Furyk, who is trying to win for the first time since the 2007 Canadian Open. “I’ve got a three-shot lead. You kind of dictate what the other guys have to do.”
Furyk was at 11-under 202, with a strong group of contenders behind him.
Defending champion Retief Goosen birdied the last hole of a roller-coaster round that gave him a 1-under 70, part of four-way tie for second. The others at 8-under 205 were two past champions at Innisbrook – K.J. Choi (67) and Carl Pettersson (70) – and Bubba Watson, who has never won on tour. He scrambled for a 70. (AP)
