Mike Weir birdied the 18th hole and shot and a hard-earned 69, good for a one-stroke lead over Hal Sutton going into the final round of the Genuity Championship Weir, a two-time winner on the PGA Tour but never in America, was at 15-under 201 and will be in good company today.
The other member of their threesome is Davis Love III, who birdied the 18th for a 69 and was just three strokes back, along with Jeff Sluman. Love will be playing in the final group for the third straight tournament.
Weir holed a 40-foot putt for eagle on the first hole using his 5-wood to immediately erase a two-stroke deficit. From there, it was a matter of hanging on. Sluman shot 69 to join Love at 204.
