Maruyama shot a 67. First-round leader Charles Warren, who tied the Forest Oaks Country Club record of 62 before faltering a bit over the past two days, rebounded with a 65 to tie Brandt Jobe (67) and Jason Bohn (70) for third.

Scotland's Catriona Matthew and France's Karine Icher were tied for second at 8 under.

The 60-year-old Irwin played the back nine in 6-under 31 for a 6-under 66 and a 13- under 203 total on the Prestonwood Country Club course in Cary, N.C.
