Liberty’s playoff run

with Kevin Chappell.

Chappell went from a four-shot deficit on the front nine to a one-shot lead when he made a 10-foot birdie putt on the 17th and Johnson made his double bogey. Chappell, still looking for his first PGA Tour victory, shot a 68. They were at 8-under 202.

Rory McIlroy and Ryan Moore each had a 66 and have different prizes at stake Sunday. They were two shots behind, still very much in the game after wondering most of the steamy afternoon if Johnson was going to give anyone a chance.
