New York: United States Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III and Jim Furyk both carded a four-under 66 to share a two-shot lead after the third round of the McGladrey Classic at Sea Island, Georgia yesterday.
Love, the tournament host, birdied his final hole to get to 13-under and join Furyk, one of his Ryder Cup captain’s picks, who enjoyed a bogey free afternoon.
Furyk, a 16-time winner on the PGA Tour, has had a year of golfing heartache, losing to Luke Donald in a playoff at the Transitions Championship, blowing a late lead at the US Open to Webb Simpson and coughing up a hefty final hole lead at the WGC Bridgestone Invitational to Keegan Bradley.
The misery continued at last month’s Ryder Cup when Furyk stumbled late against Spain’s Sergio Garcia as the Europeans complete a stunning comeback.
Furyk said nothing he could do in the remainder of the year would have any impact on his disappointments in 2012.
“It’s an opportunity for me to go out and win a golf tournament, and I’m not trying to make up for the rest of the year,” Furyk told reporters.reuters
