PAOLI, Pa., Sept. 14 (UPI) -- Jeff Brehaut, who began the year with a major medical exemption on the PGA Tour, shot a 5-under-par 66 on Saturday at Waynesborough Country Club to move within a stroke of Billy Andrade after three rounds at the Pennsylvania Classic.
A 39-year-old who has not been in the top 10 at a PGA Tour event in three years, Brehaut birdied each of the last four holes to reach 10-under 203 and put himself in Sunday's final group.
Brehaut underwent shoulder surgery in January 2000 and missed the rest of the PGA Tour season. He returned in 2001 but missed the cut in 14 of his 26 starts, never finishing better than 25th.
Andrade shot a 3-under 68 and had the lead to himself for the third straight day at 11-under 202. He had three times as many bogeys Saturday (3) as he did through the first two rounds, but still put himself in position for his fifth PGA Tour title and first in two years.
Ian Leggatt of Australia was third at 204 with Dan Forsman, Jeff Sluman, Aussie John Senden, Steve Flesch and John Huston at 205.
Forsman matched the Waynesborough course record with a 64 that included eight birdies and a bogey. It was one of eight rounds at 65 or better Saturday.
