Furyk makes another bid for victory on PGA Tour

Frustrated by two close calls this year, Jim Furyk gave himself another shot at winning by taking advantage of a rain-softened course for a 4-under 68 Saturday and a one-shot lead in the PGA Tour's Wachovia Championship in Charlotte, N.C.

Furyk, the only player to shoot in the 60s each day this week, got the separation he needed with an approach that landed softly and rolled within 2 feet on the 16th hole, then finished with solid pars to reach 11-under 205.

Retief Goosen made seven birdies on the back nine and was thrilled to escape with a bogey on the 18th hole after driving into the creek that meanders down the left side of the fairway. That gave him a 65 and left him one shot behind, along with fellow South African Trevor Immelman, who birdied the 18th for a 66.

Bo Van Pelt had a three-shot lead going into the third round, but he opened with a bogey and followed with eight straight pars, eventually settling for a 73 that allowed several players into the mix.

Rain stops Wie's bid

Michelle Wie's first chance to play a post-cut round in a men's professional tournament got washed out.

Heavy rain and strong wind forced the postponement of the third round of the SK Telecom Open in South Korea, where the 16-year-old American is six strokes off the lead after making the cut in a men's tournament for the first time Friday. Because of the delay, the Asian Tour event will be shortened from 72 holes to 54.

Iain Steel of Malaysia and Prom Meesawat of Thailand shared the lead.

Stanford leads LPGA stop

Angela Stanford moved into position for her first LPGA Tour victory since 2003, shooting a 6-under 66 to take a four-shot lead after the third round of the Franklin American Mortgage Championship in Franklin, Tenn.

Cristie Kerr and Sophie Gustafson were tied for second.

Dalhousie Golf Club touring pro Karen Stupples was 12 strokes back at 6 under after her third straight round of 70.

McNulty leads in Alabama

Mark McNulty shot a 5-under 67 to take a one-stroke lead over Dick Mast and Brad Bryant in the Champions Tour's Regions Charity Classic in Hoover, Ala.

Mast (66) is trying to become the first Monday qualifier to win since Pete Oakley in the 2004 Senior British Open.
