BOSTON, Massachusetts: Australian Jason Day birdied the par-five 18th to seize the outright lead after the third round of the US PGA Deutsche Bank Championship while top-ranked Tiger Woods helped his playoff bid.
Day fired a five-under par 66 to stand on 17-under par 196 after 54 holes, one stroke better than American Brandt Snedeker, his playing partner who shared the lead with the Aussie when the day began but settled for a 66.
England's Luke Donald fired a 66 to stand third on 198, two strokes ahead of American Steve Stricker, the defending champion who fired a 67 at the 7.5 million-dollar
Australians Geoff Ogilvy and Adam Scott each fired 65s to leap into contention on 201 after 54 holes, sharing fifth with South Korean Charlie Wie and US world number two Phil Mickelson, who both fired 67s.
Woods fired a 69 to stand 10 strokes off the pace entering Monday's US Labour Day holiday final round.
But his projected point total has him at 56th in the playoff points chase, good enough to advance him to next week's 70-man event in Chicago, the BMW Championship, where Woods is the defending champion.
