Pettersson grabs share of lead

Carl Pettersson hit five straight iron shots inside 12 feet and made three of them for birdie, enough to carry him to a 4-under 67 on Saturday for a share of the lead with Steve Lowery in the Chrysler Championship in Palm Harbor, Fla.

Pettersson finished with eight straight pars at Innisbrook, a tough course that was even more demanding in swirling wind and a warm sun that made it play firm and fast.

He was happy with pars, putting him at 9-under 204 and giving him his second chance in two months to earn his first PGA Tour victory. Pettersson was in a five-way tie for the lead at the Deutsche Bank Championship, but closed with a 72.

Lowery was the only player to reach 10-under par until missing the par-3 17th to the right, chipping no closer than 30 feet and two-putting for bogey. Still, he was solid from the start and will go after his first tour victory since 2000.

They had a three-shot lead over Davis Love III, Tom Pernice Jr. (70) and Daniel Chopra (68).

Charles Schwab Cup

Jay Haas shot a 9-under 63 to take a six-shot lead after the third round of the Charles Schwab Cup Championship.

Haas, starting the day just one stroke back at 5 under, sprinted to 9 under after six holes and never looked back. He birdied Nos. 2 through 5 and finished at 14-under 202.

Haas will be going for his third win in four weeks in the Champions Tour's season-ending event.

Tom Kite, who was tied for 10th at 4 under after the second round, started with three straight birdies and finished tied for second with tour leading money-winner Dana Quigley (68), Tom Watson (69), Loren Roberts and Nielsen.

Haas, 51, is coming off a victory at the SBC Championship, his second Champions Tour victory in three weeks. He has earned $744,653 on the 50-and-over tour this year.

Hale Irwin, a 44-time Champions Tour winner, had a third-round 72 and was at 2 under.

CJ Nine Bridges Classic

South Korea's Jee Young Lee overcame a pair of double bogeys in a round of 1-over 73 to take a three-stroke lead after the second round of the LPGA Tour's CJ Nine Bridges Classic in South Korea.

Lee, who was 11 under before taking a 6 on the par-4 14th and a 7 on the par-5 18th, finished at 6-under 138. Mi Hyun Kim (71) and British Open champion Jeong Jang (74) were at 3 under.
