Howell has lead, but can he seal deal?
Holding a 54-hole lead isn't exactly the best way for Charles Howell III to win on the PGA Tour.
Howell already has 2 career victories, but he's 0-for-3 following a third-round lead. The last time he led the field entering the last round was the 2007 Sony Open, a memory Howell wants to block out.
"Yes, there's your answer," he said, laughing. "Finished second to (Paul) Goydos."
Howell shot a 5-under 67 on Saturday to take a 1-stroke lead over Kenny Perry into the final round of the AT&T Classic in Duluth, Ga.
An Augusta native seeking his first victory since the 2007 Nissan Open, Howell had a 13-under 203 total at TPC Sugarloaf.
Perry shot a 69. David Toms (69), Ryan Palmer (70) and second-round leader Jonathan Byrd (73) were 2 strokes back at 11 under.
With storms expected this afternoon, the players will tee off in threesomes, starting on both the first and 10th holes.
"It will be different," Howell said. "It's not the normal twosomes later in the day. From what I understand, it's going to be quite windy. This golf course is really tough in the wind. There's a lot of risk-reward out here. A lot of it."
Wheaton native Kevin Streelman, who made the cut by shooting 71-72, had a rough day Saturday with a 79. He's in second-to-last place.
Sybase Classic: Lorena Ochoa said her own little goodbye to Annika Sorenstam.
The two-time defending champion shot a 5-under 67 and left the retiring Sorenstam in her wake after two rounds of the rain-shorted Sybase Classic on Saturday in Clifton, N.J.
Ochoa will enter today's final round of the now 54-hole tournament with a 9-under 135 total and a 2-shot lead over third-year tour player Teresa Lu and veteran Sophie Gustafson.
Sorenstam, who announced Tuesday this would be her final year on the LPGA Tour, was 5 behind after a 1-over 73 that included a double bogey after hitting a tree on a par 5, and a bogey on her final hole.
Regions Charity Classic: Andy Bean birdied the final hole to take a 1-shot lead over Mike Goodes into the final round of the Champions Tour's Regions Charity Classic in Hoover, Ala.
Irish Open: Wales' Bradley Dredge shot a 6-under 66 to take a 1-stroke lead over England's Richard Finch after the third round of the Irish Open in Adare, Ireland.
