Harrington ties Furyk at Barclays

Irish star Padraig Harrington grabbed a share of the third-round lead at the Barclays Classic, shooting a 3-under 68 to match Jim Furyk at 9-under 204 on the sun-baked Westchester Country Club course in Harrison, N.Y.

Furyk, the leader after each of the first two rounds, had a 70. The 2003 U.S. Open winner is winless since returning from a serious wrist injury a year ago. Brad Faxon (66) and Brian Gay (71) were two strokes back at 7 under.

With the senior circuit's cart ban lifted because of temperatures in the mid-90s, Tom Purtzer rode to an 8-under 64 to take the lead after two rounds of the Bank of America Championship.

R.W. Eaks shot 65 and Mark McNulty shot 69 to sit one stroke back at the par-72, 6,728-yard Nashawtuc Country Club in Concord, Mass.
