Snedeker takes one-stroke lead in Canada

MONTREAL: Brandt Snedeker drained a seven-foot eagle putt the final hole Saturday to cap a six-under par 66 that gave him a one-stroke lead in the US PGA Tour’s Canadian Open. Snedeker’s three-round total of nineunder par 207 put him one shot ahead of US Open champion Dustin Johnson and Canadian amateur Jarde du Toit. World number two Johnson was tied for the lead after each of the first two rounds but needed a 12-foot birdie putt at 18 to complete a one-under 71. Steve Wheatcroft was two strokes back on 209.
