LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla., Nov. 15 (UPI) -- Justin Leonard, George McNeill, Mathias Gronberg and Justin Rose all have a piece of the lead through 54 holes at the PGA's Children's Miracle Network Classic.

All four golfers are 13-under-par 203, one-stroke better than Nick O'Hern (66) and Carl Petterson (67).

Leonard, the second-round leader, squandered his advantage with two bogeys on the back nine, finishing with a 1-under 71.

"In general, (I) just didn't putt as well today as I have the previous two days," Leonard said.

Rose (69) made four birdies in a six-hole span on the back nine, but a bogey at the 17th kept him from taking the outright lead.

Gronberg shot six-under 66, including six birdies -- five on the back nine -- and no bogeys.

McNeill shot 3-under 69 and seeks his second win this season in Sunday's fourth round.
