Silvis, IL (Sports Network) - Troy Matteson had a pair of bogeys on the back
nine Saturday, but still carded a 5-under 66 to keep his lead at the John
Deere Classic.
Matteson finished 54 holes at 18-under-par 195 and is three clear of the man
who has owned this event recently.
Three-time defending champion Steve Stricker also shot 66 to move into second
place at minus-15. He is looking to become the fifth player to win the same
tournament four straight years.
Zach Johnson, the 2009 runner-up, shot 66 to finish three rounds at 14-under-
par 199. He was joined in third place by Brian Harman (69).
Billy Hurley III fired a 7-under 64 at TPC Deere Run to jump into a share of
fifth at minus-13. He stands alongside J.J. Henry (69) and John Senden (67).
