Furyk maintains lead at BMW Championship

Jim Furyk followed up Friday's stunning 59 with a two-under 69 on Saturday to ensure he will take a one-shot lead into the final round of the BMW Championship.

The 43-year-old, who in his second round became the only sixth player in PGA Tour history to post a sub-60 score, took a two-stroke advantage to the par-five 18th at Conway Farms, but a first missed fairway since his 12th hole in the first round proved costly.

He went on to three-putt from 30 feet, missing a par putt from inside five feet, but remained top of the pile on 13 under - narrowly ahead of Steve Stricker.

Stricker surged into contention on Saturday with a 64, highlighted by an eagle at the par-four 15th.

Brandt Snedeker, who shared the midway lead with Furyk, was two shots off the pace after a level-par 71, with Zach Johnson (69) a further stroke adrift and world number one Tiger Woods (66) nine under - despite being hit with a two-shot penalty after Friday's second round.
