Two share RSM lead

-

Patrick Rodgers ran off four consecutiv­e birdies late in his round Saturday and finished with a par save for a 6-under 64, giving him a share of the lead with Ben Martin in the RSM Classic and another chance at his first PGA Tour title. Martin was poised to match that score until he came up short on the 18th green, chipped to just inside 5 feet and missed the par putt. He had a 65. They were at 14-under 198 in the final PGA Tour event of the year, and it was far from a two-man race. Ten players were within two shots of the lead, a group that included Sahith Theegala (68), Brian Harman (64) and even Harry Higgs, who was atop the leaderboar­d at the start of the day and had a 25-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 70. Former University of Arkansas golfer David Lingmerth is at 10-under 202. Andrew Landry (Razorbacks) is at 2-under 210.
