Daniel Summerhays shot 9-under-par 62 on
Saturday and moved ahead by a pair of strokes entering the final round of the
John Deere Classic.
Summerhays, who missed three straight cuts before tying for ninth at last
week's Greenbrier Classic, is 19-under 194 through 54 holes at TPC Deere Run.
The 29-year-old will attempt to secure his first career PGA Tour win on
Sunday.
"I think when I'm playing well the mentality is make as many birdies as you
can," he said. "I'm really looking forward to (Sunday). I'm playing really
well."
David Hearn shot 64 and moved into second place at 17-under, while defending
champion and overnight co-leader Zach Johnson dropped into third at minus-16
after a third-round 67.
J.J. Henry (65) and Jerry Kelly (66) share fourth at 15-under, one stroke
ahead of Nicholas Thompson (64), Chris Kirk (66) and Matt Jones (68).
Nineteen-year-old Jordan Spieth (65), Kevin Sutherland (65) and Patrick Reed
(70) share ninth at 13-under.
Johnson posted his 19th straight round in the 60s at this event, but it wasn't
enough to hold onto the lead.
The final round will be played today as they play for a 1st prize check worth $828,000.
