WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — Jason Bohn’s main goal after barely making the cut at The Greenbrier Classic was to get some extra rest before the final round.
Sweet dreams. And try not to think about being the co-leader heading into Sunday.
Bohn shot a 9-under 61 Saturday and was at 11-under 199, tied with Sean O’Hair, Sung Joon Park and Bryce Molder on the Old White TPC course. O’Hair and Park both shot 66. Molder had a 67.
Bohn started strong with six birdies on the first 10 holes. After a bogey at No. 11, he regrouped with four more birdies over the final five holes
It’s setting up to be another close finish at the tournament, which debuted in 2010. Two were decided in playoffs and the largest margin was two shots twice.
A crowded leaderboard has 27 players within four shots of the lead. Tiger Woods wasn’t among them.
Woods struggled on the back nine, shot 71 and was seven strokes back.
Bohn’s round was his best on the PGA Tour and included 14 one-putt greens. He shot 58 in a 2001 Canadian Tour event, the Bayer Championship.
A two-time winner on the PGA Tour, Bohn has two runner-up finishes this season. On Saturday, he was just hoping to play well enough to avoid an early tee time in the final round.

Van Zyl cards 64 for 2-shot lead in Paris
PARIS — Jaco Van Zyl will take a two-stroke lead into the final round of the French Open and a shot at a maiden European Tour title after carding a 7-under-par 64 on Saturday.
Van Zyl has won 13 times on the Sunshine Tour, and has 17 top-10 finishes on the European Tour, including two this season while playing on a medical exemption with a brace on his leg.
His bogey-free round included a tap-in seventh and final birdie on his last hole.
“Today was really a phenomenal round,” he said after reaching a 10-under total of 203.
Maximilian Kieffer of Germany, also chasing his first European Tour title, was two back after shooting a bogey-free 65 and rising seven places.
Bernd Wiesberger of Austria was alone in third at 7 under thanks to a 66.
