Henrik Stenson shot a 4-under 66 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead in the Wyndham Championship.
The 2013 FedEx Cup champion and 2016 British Open winner was at 16-under 194 at Sedgefield CC in Greensboro, N.C., with a round left in the PGA Tour’s last regular-season event of the season.
Webb Simpson, Kevin Na and Ollie Schniederjans were tied for second. Na shot a 65, Schniederjans had a 66 and Simpson — a North Carolina native who won at Sedgefield in 2011 — had a 68.
Johnson Wagner was 14 under after a 65.
Simpson had sole possession of the lead late in the round, before Stenson caught him during his birdie binge on the back nine.
The Swede pulled even with Simpson with birdies on four of five holes, a run he capped by sticking his second shot on the par-4 17th about 10 feet from the hole and converting that putt. He could have ended his round with another one but pulled his 15-foot birdie putt wide right and settled for par.
His 54-hole score is second-best in tournament play at Sedgefield, surpassed by Carl Pettersson’s 191 in 2008.
Schniederjans — a 24-yearold, third-year pro from Georgia Tech — is chasing his first victory on the PGA Tour and his fifth top-10 finish of the year.
