Reed storms to 1-shot lead
WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Patrick Reed hammered a wedge into 4 feet for birdie on the 17th, and finished with a two-putt birdie for a 5-under 67 to match the low score of a blustery third round and gain a one-shot lead in the Wells Fargo Championship Saturday.
It was good enough for a one-shot lead over Alex Noren of Sweden and Jon Rahm of Spain going into the final round at Eagle Point.
But with one round remaining, the tournament was wide open, even for Dustin Johnson.
The world’s No. 1 player, competing for the first time since his slip down the stairs bruised his back and knocked him out of the Masters, rallied for a 67 and was four shots out of the lead as Johnson goes for his fourth straight PGA Tour victory.
In a scramble for the top – 18 players were separated by four shots after 54 holes.
