Local favorite Webb Simpson fired a six-under 64 on Saturday to seize a two-shot lead heading into the final round of the US PGA Tour’s Wyndham Championship. Simpson, a North Carolina native, had a 15-under par total of 195 and a two-shot lead over Tommy Gainey.
Gainey, who had led or shared the lead after each of the first two rounds, carded a 69 for 197. Carl Pettersson, who now lives in North Carolina, posted a 63 to join Mallinger (65) on 198.
