Henrik Stenson continued to stay ahead of the field after Day 3 of the PGA Tour Championship ending the day 1-under-par 69 to maintain a four-shot lead.
Stenson had a nine-shot lead, at one point, until rain rolled through the East Lake Golf Club golf course, bogeying on holes 14, 16 and 18.
"I think I'll choose to look at it from the bright side, even though the weather is not that bright at the moment," said Stenson. "Started the day with a four-shot lead and I still got it. So that's all that matters really."
Stenson is in good position to take home the $10 million prize that comes with winning the FedEx Cup, having won the second FedEx Cup Playoffs event at the Deutsche Bank Championship in Massachusetts. Stenson has finished in the top 3 five out of the last seven tournaments.
"Really from the British Open on, he's been playing consistently well," said top ranked player in the world Tiger Woods. "It's not surprising he's out in front. Getting a lead like this, obviously, he's got to be playing really well."
Woods finished the third round with a 1-under 69, tied for 26th place in the 30-man field, sixteen shots behind Stenson. With his chances of winning the $10 million FedEx Cup dwindling, Woods is focusing on finishing strong and attempt to score the second place $3 million prize.
"The goal is to go out and shoot a low round tomorrow and see where the chips fall," said Woods.
Woods birdied the 14th and 15th hole after an early bogey while making pars the rest of the day.
"I didn't hit it very good today," Woods said. "I hit everything to the right or flipped it left, but I putted better," said Woods. "I kept hitting everything to the right. It wasn't that far off, but it just kept spinning over to the right. At least I was able to putt well today. It was nice. I made some nice putts."
