Atwal slips further down at Wyndham

Greensboro: An error-filled five-over 75 saw Arjun Atwal slip down to tied 69th at the end of three rounds in the Wyndham Championships, where he won his first and only PGA Tour title two years ago.

Atwal started well with two pars and a birdie on the third, but thereafter it was trouble. He bogeyed the fourth, double bogeyed the fifth and added one more bogey on ninth to turn in three-over. Two more bogeys on 10th and 17th completed his tale of woes as he finished at 75.

On a course where even a four or five shot lead is catchable, Sergio Garcia is holding a one-shot advantage at the birdie-friendly Sedgefield Country Club. Garcia shot a 4-under 66 on Saturday to take the lead at 14-under 196 after three rounds at the Wyndham Championship.

Tim Clark and Bud Cauley were a stroke back, and Jason Dufner who would become the FedExCup No. 1 with a victory, Harris English and Carl Pettersson were at 12 under in the last event before the FedExCup Playoffs.

Dufner shot a 63 -- the day's best round. Cauley had a 66, Clark shot a 67, and English and Pettersson had 68s.

Garcia's second-round 63 marked his best PGA TOUR round in a decade. If he can keep it rolling for one more round, he might claim his first win on TOUR since 2008 -- and strengthen his chances to make the European Ryder Cup team.

Webb Simpson defending the title, is now tenth after a 71.
