Pettersson leads Wyndham by two shots
Carl Pettersson carded a four-under 66 Saturday to maintain his lead after three rounds of the Wyndham Championship.
Pettersson, who set the new 36-hole scoring record here and matched the PGA Tour's record for lowest opening 36 holes, smashed the tournament's 54-hole scoring mark with his three-day total of 19-under-par 191.
The Swede broke his countryman Jesper Parnevik's record. Parnevik set the old mark of 195 in 1999. Pettersson's 191 total was two off the tour record for lowest opening 54-hole score.
Scott McCarron holed out for birdie on the 18th at Sedgefield Country Club to shoot six-under 64 and move into second place at 17-under-par 193.
Briny Baird fired an eight-under 62 to jump into a share of third place at minus-13. He was joined there by Garrett Willis (69) and Kevin Streelman (67). Willis needs a solo third-place finish or better to make it into the FedEx Cup playoffs.
