Bryant leads by pair

Brad Bryant shot a 5-under 67 Saturday to take a 2-stroke advantage over Mike Reid into the final round of the Jeld-Wen Tradition in Sunriver, Ore., the fourth of five majors on the Champions Tour.

Bryant padded his lead to go 15 under after three rounds at Crosswater Golf Club in central Oregon. He has stayed atop the leaderboard after shooting a career-best 10-under 62 in the opening round, matching a tournament record.

Reid birdied the par-4 No. 18 to finish with a 66 and go to 13 under.

John Cook had a 68, putting him at 12 under going into the final round. Larry Mize was at 10 under after a third-round 70.

Bryant's low opening round matched Tom Watson's mark set in 2003 and Doug Tewell's in 2001.

Watson rebounded with a 69 after a 74 the day before, but making a run at the leaders in the final round will be tough at 6 under.

Wyndham Championship: Sergio Garcia and Chris Riley were both 13 under par through 10 holes to share the clubhouse lead when play was stopped midway through the third round of the rain-plagued Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, N.C.

Steve Marino, Fred Couples, Kevin Stadler and Justin Rose were 12 under and Brandt Snedeker and Bill Haas were 11 under through varying stages of their rounds when play was suspended due to darkness.

Marino, who started the round 6 strokes off the pace, had 7 birdies to vault up the leaderboard. Couples, the U.S. President's Cup captain who is still considering his final picks, birdied four of his first eight holes to move into contention for his first victory since 2003. Rose had 5 birdies to rally after starting the round 4 strokes back.

KLM Open: Sweden's Peter Hedblom shot a 6-under 64 to take a 2-stroke lead after the third round of the KLM Open in Zandvoort, Netherlands.

Hedblom was at 14-under 196, with Ireland's Peter Lawrie at 198 after a 65. Defending champion Darren Clarke (67) 2as another shot back, with Jamie Donaldson (66), Kenneth Ferrie (67), Sam Little (63) and Terry Pilkadaris (66) all trailing at 10 under.
