POTOMAC, Md., June 24 (UPI) -- Ben Curtis posted a 4-under 67 in the third round Saturday and has a five-shot lead at the Booz Allen Classic in Potomac, Md.
Curtis, still looking for his second PGA Tour victory three years after winning the British Open, is at 19-under 194 -- a 54-hole tournament record.
Curtis has made just one bogey through three rounds on the TPC at Avenel.
Twelve players ended the day at 10-under, but only Brett Quigley is within five shots of Curtis. Quigley followed up a second-round 63 with a 67 Saturday to get to 14-under 199, good for second place.
Quigley is one shot ahead of second-round U.S. Open leader and 1996 Booz Allen champion Steve Stricker (66) and Sweden's Daniel Chopra (67).
With bad weather expected Sunday, players will start the final round in threesomes off split tees beginning at 7 a.m. local time.
