Davis Thompson had nine birdies on the vulnerable TPC Deere Run. That gave him a 62 to match his career low on the PGA Tour. It also gave him a two-shot lead going into the final round. That two-shot lead probably doesn't feel like much this week. Thompson already is at 21-under par. He leads Aaron Rai and Eric Cole by two shots.

The final round will be in threesomes off both tees for a slightly later start Sunday with hopes of avoiding storms that already have made the course vulnerable to low scoring.Hayden Springer posts 14th sub-60 round in PGA Tour history with his eagle-birdie finish for a 59 Hayden Spring finally shot a round in the 60s — he opened with a course record-tying 59 and fell back with a 71 on Friday — and his 66 put him four shots behind at 17-under 196 along with C.T. Pan, who had a 68.
Clanton looks so comfortable that he even agreed to do a walk-and-talk with the CBS booth while playing on the back nine. “I guess it was just my day today,” Thompson said. “Hit a lot of good shots on the back nine and finished the round off well.”
