Three back of the leader Vijay Singh entering the final round, the defending champion Jim Furyk has logged four consecutive top-10 finishes at the Cialis Western Open and has six top-10s in nine starts.

• The 54-hole leader Vijay Singh has wins at 21 different PGA TOUR events but is looking for his first title at the Cialis Western Open. In 11 previous starts, Singh has four top-10s --- with his best finish being second in 1998.

• Vijay Singh will be searching for his 30th career PGA TOUR title playing in his 342nd career PGA TOUR event. The 43-year-old would tie Leo Diegel for 16th all-time for PGA TOUR victories.

• Paul Stankowski (tied for 51st), playing this year on a Major Medical Extension due to a wrist injury suffered in 2004, needs just $22,953 in his final two events (including this week) to remain in the Major Medical Extension category for the remainder of the year. He entered the 2006 campaign with 14 events to earn $180,390 and has earned $157,437 in 12 events to this point.

• To surpass Billy Andrade ($674,694) on the British Open mini-money list and earn an exemption into the British Open, Steve Stricker ($513,255) will have to finish solo seventh or better this week to earn $167,500 and reduce the current deficit of $161,439. The mini-money list is comprised of THE PLAYERS Championship earnings, along with the five tournaments up-to and including the Cialis Western Open. The top two players on this list, not already eligible will earn exemptions into the British Open. Currently, J.J. Henry ($814,020) and Andrade are 1-2 with Stricker third.

• Once the two players from the mini-money list are decided, the top player from the top-10, not already eligible, will also earn a spot in the British Open.

• Carl Pettersson, the winner of the Memorial Tournament earlier this season, posted his second consecutive bogey-free round on Saturday. With his 6-under-par 65, Pettersson jumped from a tie for 35th to a tie for second. One other player, Matthew Goggin, did not post a bogey on Saturday -- bringing the total to 12 on the week.
