Reed grabs lead
But Johnson is in the hunt
Patrick Reed birdied his final two holes for a 5under 67 to surge into the lead Saturday at the Wells Fargo Championship in Wilmington, N.C.
With one round remaining at Eagle Point, the tournament remains wide open, even for Dustin Johnson.
Reed stuffed a short iron into 4 feet on No. 17 and reached the 580-yard 18th hole in two for a twoputt birdie, giving him a one-shot lead over Alex Noren of Sweden.
Noren missed a 5-foot birdie putt on the last hole that would have tied Reed at 8-under 208.
Seventeen players were within four shots of the lead. That includes Phil Mickelson (69) and Johnson, who had a 67 despite missing a half-dozen chances from inside 15 feet on pure greens.
LPGA Tour: Michelle Wie rallied to beat Angel Yin in the Lorena Ochoa Match Play to join Ariya Jutanugarn, Sei Young Kim and Mi Jung Hur in the semifinals in Mexico City.
Four down after 11 holes at Club de Golf Mexico, Wie twice rallied to tie the long-hitting Yin and won with a birdie on the par-5 20th hole.
Wie set up a match against Kim, a 5-and-4 winner over Karine Icher.
The third-ranked Jutanugarn lost a 3-up lead to Cristie Kerr before finishing off the 39-year-old American with a par on the 19th hole. Kerr won three weeks ago in Hawaii and lost to Haru Nomura last week on the sixth hole of a playoff in Texas.
Hur had two 1-up victories, knocking off topranked Lydia Ko in the round of 16 in the morning and edging Shanshan Feng in the afternoon.
Champions Tour: John Daly shot a bogey-free 7under 65 to take a onestroke lead over Kenny Perry in the Insperity Invitational in The Woodlands, Texas.
