Saturday 10 June 2017 23:08, UK
Rafa Cabrera Bello fired a joint-low round of the day to move in to a three-way tie for the lead heading in to the final round of the FedEx St. Jude Classic.
The Spaniard posted a five-under 65 at TPC Southwind to join Stewart Cink and Ben Crane at the top of a bunched leaderboard on nine under.
Luke List and Chad Campbell posted matching 66s to get within one of the lead, with Kevin Chappell, Matt Jones and Chez Reavie a further shot back.
Cink drained a 40-footer at the first and edged ahead with further gains at the third and fifth, before cancelling out a blemish at the sixth with a chip-in birdie at the par-four next.
The American saw his advantage briefly increase to three when overnight joint-leader Sebastian Munoz post back-to-back bogeys from the sixth, only for Cabrera Bello to close the gap with a run of birdies.
