Ishikawa up one shot on Fowler at National

- Golf roundup

Ryo Ishikawa was even par for the round before he birdied the final three holes for a 3-under 68 and a one-shot advantage at the Quicken Loans National at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesvill­e, Va. Ishikawa was at 11-under 131, one shot ahead of Rickie Fowler, who also birdied the final three holes for a 65. Kevin Chappell also is one back after a 68. Tiger Woods showed a rare flash of anger on a mostly stress-free day when his second shot on the eighth hole failed to clear a massive fairway bunker. The best he could do was to squeeze it onto the front of the green. Woods then sank a 36-foot birdie putt, which broke hard to the right, and finished at 8 under after a 66.
