Johnson, Landry share Texas lead
Zach Johnson birdied the par-5 18th Saturday at the Valero Texas Open for a share of the third-round lead with Andrew Landry, a stroke ahead of recordsetting Trey Mullinax.
Johnson shot a 4-under 68, holing a 10-footer on 18 to match Landry at 13-under 203 at TPC San Antonio. Landry birdied the 16th and 17th in a 67.
Johnson won the tournament in 2008 and 2009, the last two times it was played at LaCantera. The 42-year-old Iowan won the 2015 British Open for the last of his 12 PGA Tour titles. The 30-year-old Landry is winless on the tour.
Mullinax had a course-record 62. He played the AT&T Oaks back nine in 7-under 29, going 6-under on the last five with eagles on the par-5 14th and 18th and birdies on 16 and 17. He also birdied Nos. 10 and 12 and bogeyed 11.
Ryan Moore was two strokes back at 11-under after a 70. Sean O’Hair had a 65 to join 2015 champion Jimmy Walker (67), Chris Kirk (68) and 2013 winner Martin Laird (69) at 9-under.
LPGA Tour: Moriya Jutanugarn overcame a poor start and birdied the 18th for a hard-earned 1-under 70 to tie Jin Young Ko at 9-under going into the final round of the HUGEL-JTBC LA Open in Los Angeles.
Ko shot a 66 at Wilshire Country Club in her bid to become the year’s first two-time winner.
Jutanugarn is trying to match younger sister Ariya as a tour champion. Seven-time winner Ariya was tied for 27th after a 72 in the third round. Inbee Park was two shots back in third after a 69. Champions Tour: Defending champions Vijay Singh and Carlos Franco took the third-round lead in the windy Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf in Ridgedale, Mo.
Singh and Franco shot a 7-under 47 in wind gusting to 20 mph on the Top of the Rock par-3 course to get to 19-under 145, a stroke ahead of the teams of David Toms-Steve Flesch and Paul Broadhurst-Kirk Triplett.
Toms and Flesch also shot 47, and Broadhurst and Triplett had a 33 on the 13-hole Mountain Top par-3 course. The teams will finish play Sunday at Top of the Rock, again playing the front nine in alternate shot and the back nine in better ball.
The Madison duo of Steve Stricker and Jerry Kelly was 16 under after a 48 at Top of the Rock.
