Davis Love III tees off on the second hole during the third round of the McGladrey Classic PGA Tour golf tournament Saturday, Oct. 20, 2012 in St. Simons Island, Ga. Stephen Morton, Associated Press
By Associated Press

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III made a 12-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole Saturday for a 4-under 66 that gave him a share of the lead with Jim Furyk going into the final round of the McGladrey Classic.

For a Fall Series event that features only two of the top 25 players in the world, the McGladrey Classic managed a final group packed with plenty of star power. Love is the tournament host, a Sea Island resident since he was 14, whose 20 career PGA Tour wins include the PGA Championship. Furyk, who also had a 66, is a former U.S. Open champion with 16 career wins.

They were at 13-under 197, two shots ahead of Arjun Atwal and D.J. Trahan.
