De Jonge leads storm-tossed AT&T National

BETHESDA, Md., June 30 (UPI) -- Brendon de Jonge carded a second straight 2-under-par 69 Saturday, taking a one-stroke lead after three rounds of the storm-ravaged AT&T National.

The Congressional Country Club was socked by severe weather, during which strong winds toppled trees, ripped tents from their moorings and tossed debris throughout the course.

Fans weren't allowed onto the course for safety reasons.
