Chad Campbell, a four-time winner on the PGA Tour, shot a 7-under 65 to move into second place at 202.

Bob Estes, who has played in The Masters eight times, but not since 2004, turned in an 8-under 64 Saturday to jump into a share of third with Charlie Hoffman (69) at 12-under-par 204.

"I got a couple of great breaks off the tee on the par-fives on the back nine," Wagner said. "I think I hit a spectator and kept it in play."

Reigning U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy had a 66 to move into fifth place at 10-under 206. Mathew Goggin (72) is one stroke back.
