  • Weekley in good position to repeat at Heritage


    Hilton Head Island, SC (Sports Network) - Defending champion Boo Weekley fired a six-under 65 on Saturday to take a three-shot lead heading into the final round of the Heritage.

    Weekley, who won a Monday finish last year when he chipped in for par at his last two holes, was at 15-under 198 through three rounds for a three-shot cushion on Anthony Kim.

    Kim had a four-under 67 on Saturday, moving into second place alone at 12- under 201.

    Aaron Baddeley (67), Jason Bohn (67) and Cliff Kresge (68) were tied for third place at 10-under 203, with Jim Furyk (68) another shot further back at nine- under 204.

    Weekley's one-shot win over Ernie Els last year remains his only PGA Tour victory.

    On Sunday, he will be looking to become the first back-to-back winner at this tournament since Davis Love III, a five-time Heritage champion, won it in 1991-92.
