• Gary Woodland sank this eagle putt to help keep his share of the lead.

Round 5 Player Notes

Here are some of the players you'll see on the Golf Channel's coverage of the final round:

CHRIS KIRK The 2010 Nationwide Tour money list runner-up would be within a whisper of the leaders if not for bogeys on 17 and 18 Saturday, but he still has an outside shot at three shots back. DEREK LAMELY The first-round leader made noise Saturday with a three-eagle round of 64 that started eagle-birdie-par-par-eagle-birdie on a front-nine 30. The last player to register three eagles in a round was Joe Ogilvie in the second round at the 2007 Frys.com Open. KEVIN NA The South Korean-born player was actually 1 over through 10 holes of this event but has been 20 under in the 62 holes since.
