PEBBLE BEACH:
Brandt Snedeker, runner-up to Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson in the past two weeks, fired a four-under par 68 Saturday to share the lead after 54 holes at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Snedeker, a 32-year-old American who won last year’s PGA playoff crown, stood alongside Korean-American PGA rookie James Hahn on 12-under 202 through three rounds in quest of a $1.15 million top prize at the $6.5 million event. “It was a fun day,” said Snedeker. "I played great start to finish". “I had a couple hiccups in there but overall I played well. I’ve putted well the past two days. Left me a little bit today but hopefully it will be back tomorrow.”
