Update: Gainey, Herron enter the mix

At 20 under, Kevin Na is still topping the leaderboard at TPC Summerlin. But there are some new faces applying pressure. Four-time PGA TOUR winner Tim Herron has entered the picture with a quartet of front nine birdies to reach 19 under, one shot behind Na. Herron has a pair of top-10 finishes this season and a third would lock up a 2012 TOUR card for the man currently ranked No. 105 on the money list. Na’s fellow Vegas-are resident and playing partner, Nick Watney, is still two back and has been joined by Tommy Gainey, who has posted back-to-back birdies to get to 18 under. Robert Garrigus, who joins Watney and Na in the final group, is even through six holes and four shots off the pace.

Gainey converts surprise eagle chance

By Chris Dunham, PGATOUR.COM Sometimes things just start going your way. The lights are all green on your commute to work, your favorite eatery has that dish you love as its daily special ... you hit a poor shot and wind up with an eagle. No word was immediate available on Tommy Gainey's commute or his meals, but he was the beneficiary of an unintentionally brilliant shot that resulted in an eagle Saturday on the par-5 16th.

Gainey
Standing 218 yards from the pin, Gainey tried to hit a conservative shot to the left of the green -- where there’s room to make a mistake. But he ended up knocking his ball just over the pin, setting up his 16-foot birdie putt. “That was a bad swing on the second shot,” Gainey said. “I was trying to hit it a little further left than that, but just slid ahead of my shot there and it hit a little right, but it worked out. When you hit bad shots and you get away with it out here and you can make eagle, that's awesome, man.” That eagle was the highlight of Gainey’s bogey-free 7-under 64 that helped him to reach 15 under and get within two shots of the leaders through 54 holes at TPC Summerlin. “I've hit it kind of bad the first two days, but I've just made everything I've looked at,” he said. “I putted really well, and today is just another day. I mean, I made a lot of putts today. I had a bogey-free round. Out here when you don't make any bogeys, you can gain a lot of spots in a hurry.” Starting Sunday in a tie for fifth, the two-time Nationwide Tour graduate has four spots standing between him and his first career PGA TOUR victory.

Wrapping up Round 3

Nick Watney and Kevin Na share the 54-hole lead at the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. The duo, tied at 17 under, will be joined by Robert Garrigus (-16) in the final grouping Sunday at 2 p.m. ET (11 a.m. local time). Watney, a Vegas-area resident, birdied five of his last six holes Saturday as he made a late surge to the top of the leaderboard. Na did most of his damage on the more difficult front nine, managing just one birdie on the back nine as he shot a 5-under 66. Joining Garrigus one shot off the pace will be Kris Blanks. Two back are Tommy Gainey, Paul Goydos and Tim Herron. The six players tied with, or within two shots of Watney entering the final round, have a combined total of six PGA TOUR victories -- four belonging to Herron and two for Goydos. Watney has four, including two this year, as he rebounds from missed opportunities in the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup. The Regular Season points leader posted just one top-10 finish in the four Playoffs events, but has wasted no time coming back into form.

Update: Three tied for the lead

With a birdie on the par-4 18th, Robert Garrigus tied Kevin Na and Nick Watney for the lead at 16 under during Round 3 of the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. Garrigus, the second player to shoot a 63 on moving day, is looking for his second career victory, and second in the Fall Series. Also reaching the clubhouse in good position was Tommy Gainey. “Two Gloves” shot a 64 Saturday, highlighted by an eagle on the par-5 16th, and is currently tied for third at 15 under. Na, currently playing the par-3 14th, has a drivable par 4 and a generous par 5 ahead of him. Watney, who just birdied the par-3 17th, is headed to the 18th teebox with a share of the lead. Paul Goydos joins Gainey on shot behind the three leaders. He is about to tee off on the par-3 17th.

Vegas started his day on No. 1 with the Featured Group while Bradley teed off on the back nine. Tommy Gainey, Paul Goydos and Charlie Wi are among the players on the course at 3 under.
