Woods, Perry tied for NEC lead

Tiger Woods had a two-shot lead at the NEC Invitational in Akron, Ohio, when storms approached and play was stopped for three hours. He returned to hit three full shots -- none of them good -- and fell into a tie for the lead Saturday when the third round was suspended.

After spending 10 hours during an on-again, off-again day at Firestone, Woods was tied with Kenny Perry at 7 under with three holes that he'll have to finish Sunday.

Thanks to two birdie putts from off the green, Perry was 6 under for his round and facing a 10-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole for a chance to shoot 63.

Paul McGinley of Ireland was another shot back through 15 holes, while Stuart Appleby reached the 667-yard 16th hole in two shots for the second time this week and was 5 under through 16 holes. Two-time Masters champion Jose Maria Olazabal finished his round with a 66 and was the clubhouse leader at 4-under 206.

LPGA/Safeway Classic

South Korea's Soo-Yun Kang moved into position for her first victory in three full seasons on the LPGA Tour, shooting a 4-under 68 to take a three-stroke lead into the final round of the Safeway Classic in Portland, Ore.

Kang, a co-leader with Sung Ah Yim after a first-round 64, had a 12-under 132 total.

PGA/Reno-Tahoe Open

Defending champion Vaughn Taylor opened a six-stroke lead in the Reno-Tahoe Open with birdies on four of his first five holes en route to an 8-under 64 and a tournament-record 21-under 195 total.

Taylor, who opened with rounds of 64 and 67 to set the 36-hole record, shattered the 54-hole mark of 201 that Jerry Kelly set in 2001. The 72-hole record is 17 under set by Kirk Triplett in his 2003 victory.

The second-year player on the PGA Tour had eight birdies Saturday at Montreux Golf and Country Club to bring his total to 24 over three days.

Todd Fischer was second at 15 under after 69. Jesper Parnevik (67) was another stroke back.

Champion/Greater Seattle

Former PGA Tour and USGA administrator David Eger shot an 8-under 64 for a share of the second-round lead with Craig Stadler and Morris Hatalsky in the Boeing Greater Seattle Classic in Snoqualmie, Wash.
