SONOMA, Calif., Oct. 28 (UPI) -- Jim Thorpe shot a 5-under 67 Saturday to take a two-stroke lead at 13-under 203 after three rounds at the Charles Schwab Cup Championship in Sonoma, Calif.
Second-round leader Tom Kite is tied for second place with Jay Haas and Loren Roberts at 11-under 205.
Seeking his 12th career Champions Tour win -- and his first this season -- Thorpe posted a bogey-free round Saturday.
Haas and Roberts are in a battle for the season-long Charles Schwab Cup and its $1 million bonus. Roberts trails Haas by just 126 points.
But points -- normally equal to 1/1000th of official prize money -- are tripled this week, leaving the Champions Tour in a similar position as last year when Tom Watson won.
Bob Gilder and Gil Morgan both shot 68 Saturday and share fifth place with Andy Bean (69) at 10-under 206. Defending champion Watson is one shot further back at 207 after a 67.
