LOS ANGELES: Bill Haas positioned himself for a run at a Riviera repeat on Saturday, firing a superb seven-under par 64 to seize a three-stroke lead after the third round at the US PGA Tour Northern Trust Open. Reigning US Open champion Webb Simpson and 2011 Masters winner Charl Schwartzel both shot 68 to share third on nine-under par 204 along with John Merrick, who was in sole possession of second place before a bogey at the last to complete a one-under 70. World number three Luke Donald of England (70) and overnight co-leader Fredrik Jacobson of Sweden (72) were a stroke back on 205.
