Aaron Baddeley (67), Jason Bohn (67) and Cliff Kresge (68) were tied for third at 10-under 203. Jim Furyk (68) was at nine-under 204.

Weekley beat Ernie Els in last year's Heritage for his only PGA Tour victory. He will try Sunday to become the first back-to-back winner at this tournament since Davis Love III, a five-time Heritage champion, won it in 1991-92.
