Bryant maintains lead in Tour Championship

Bart Bryant blasted out of the sand and into a three-shot lead Saturday in the Tour Championship, holing a bunker shot for birdie on the 18th hole for a 4-under 66 and a cushion he didn't expect.

Bryant was clinging to a one-shot lead over defending champion Retief Goosen over the back nine at East Lake in Atlanta when everything changed suddenly.

Goosen three-putted for bogey on the 17th to fall two shots behind, and he was in the same bunker on No. 18 when he watched the 41-year-old Bryant make it for an unlikely birdie.

Goosen blasted out to 4 feet and saved par for a 1-under 69, putting him at 11-under 199.

Tiger Woods managed to make birdies on the par 5s for the first time this week -- "Miracles do happen," he said -- and shot 67 to finish four shots behind at 10-under 200.

Southern Farm Bureau

Rookie Joey Snyder III surged to the top of the leaderboard in the Southern Farm Bureau Classic in Madison, Miss., shooting a 7-under 65 to take a one-stroke lead after three rounds.

Snyder was at 16-under 200 after 54 holes, with Heath Slocum (64) and Loren Roberts (66) right behind.

Mizuno Classic

Annika Sorenstam remained in position for her record fifth straight victory in the Mizuno Classic in Japan, birdieing the final two holes of the second round for a 5-under 67 that left her a stroke behind South Korea's Young Kim.

Kim, 25, who opened with a 63 on Friday for a one-stroke lead over Sorenstam, had eight birdies and three bogeys in her 67 to move to 14-under 130.
