Ted Potter, Jr.

Ted Potter Jr. posted an even-par 36-36=72 in the third round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship.

Potter Jr. parred his first nine holes before pulling out the crayon to add some color on the back. Birdies at 10 and 13 had him briefly in contention but a pair of bogeys on 16 and 17 dropped him into a share of 10th at 6-under 204. Should he remain inside the top 10, it would be his second of the season and first since a T10 at Riviera CC.

Angel Cabrera

Angel Cabrera turned in an even-par 35-35=70 in the third round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship and is tied for 10th at 6-under 204.

Since his playoff loss at the Masters, Cabrera has managed nothing better than a T55 at last week's PLAYERS in the U.S. His round was a tale of two nine. He opened with two pars, three birdies, a bogey and a double bogey in his first seven holes before closing with 11 pars. It was a grind, as he found just six (of 14) fairways, half of his GIR and lost .535 strokes to the field with the flat stick.

Graham DeLaet

Graham DeLaet settled for an even-par 34-36=70 in the third round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship and enters the final round in a tie for 10th at 6-under 204.

The Canadian rising star found himself on television for much of the afternoon, but a late bogey on 15 and a disastrous double bogey at the par-3 17th quickly dropped him out of contention for the championship unless something dramatic happens on Sunday. He's tied for the lead in GIR at TPC Four Seasons this week.

May 18 - 6:22 PM

Chad Campbell

Chad Campbell doubled bogeyed his final hole of the third round at the HP Byron Nelson Championship to miss the 54-hole cut on the number at 2-over 212.

Ten others will join Campbell on the couch for the final round. They include Ted Purdy (212), Jesper Parnevik (212), Charlie Wi (212), Pat Perez (213), Brian Stuard (213), Brad Fritsch (213), Vijay Singh (214), Tim Herron (214), Greg Owen (214) and Patrick Reed (216).

May 18 - 6:18 PM

Charl Schwartzel

Charl Schwartzel settled for a 1-under-par 35-34=69 in the third round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship and enters the final round in a tie for fifth at 8-under 202.

The South African had a chance to take it one deeper at the par-5 16th, but couldn't convert a 3'6" birdie effort. Though he's tied for first in GIR, with 81.48 percent of his approaches leading to birdie attempts for the week, he found the dance floor a mere 10 times in the third round. Given he missed the cut for the first time all season at last week's PLAYERS, it's a good sign that he's back in the hunt at TPC Four Seasons this week.

May 18 - 6:14 PM

Tom Gillis

Tom Gillis signed for a 3-under-par 33-34=67 in the third round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship and enters the final round two back at 11-under 199.

Gillis circled four birdies and suffered one bogey in his third lap around TPC Four Seasons. His most dramatic shot was his final one, holing out a bunker shot from 15 yards for birdie at the 18th. He leads the field in strokes gained-putting this week, averaging a gain 2.757 strokes per round over the field. He's one of a number of players chasing Keegan Bradley in search of a first win.

May 18 - 6:10 PM

Sang-moon Bae

Sang-moon Bae spun a 4-under-par 33-33=66 in the third round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship and now only trails Keegan Bradley by a stroke at 12-under 198.

Bae began the day four behind Bradley, but birdies at the first two holes quickly narrowed the gap. BAe's only blemish came at the fifth in the form of a bogey, but he would bounce back to circle birdies on eight, 13 and 16 before parring in. Despite only hitting 12 GIR today, he is tied for seventh in that category for the week and is eighth in strokes gained-putting. Should he emerge victorious at TPC Four Seasons, it would be his first on the PGA TOUR.

May 18 - 6:04 PM

Keegan Bradley

Keegan Bradley continues to hold the lead at the HP Byron Nelson Championship after a 2-under-par 34-34=68 in the third round places him one-stroke clear of Sang-moon Bae at 13-under 197.

Bradley circled five birdies, ranging from 34'3" to four inches, and squared three bogeys at TPC Four Seasons. He only found 10 GIR, but gained 2.599 strokes on the field with his long putter. He ranks sixth in strokes gained for the week. The first of his three PGA TOUR wins came at this event in 2011, and he is in great position to pick up another in Sunday's final round.

May 18 - 5:58 PM

John Huh

John Huh signed for a 1-under-par 37-32=68 in the third round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship and enters the final round at 8-under 202.

Huh finished in style at TPC Four Seasons, beginning with an eagle from 162 yards at the par-4 14th and continuing with birdies at 16 and 17. Even though his rookie season was a strong one, he has yet to crack a top 10 in 14 PGA TOUR events in 2013. The difference this week has been a strong performance with the irons, landing 77.78 percent of his GIR for the tournament.

May 18 - 5:49 PM

Scott Piercy

Scott Piercy made a statement on moving day with a 4-under-par 35-31=66 in the third round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship and a 54-hole tally of 10-under 200.

Piercy traded two birdies for two bogeys on his opening nine, but played the back in blemish-free 4-under. It's been a rough ride of late for a guy that started the year in good form, missing four of his last five cuts with only a T54 at the Masters breaking the monotony. The irons have been solid this week, and that could be the difference. He's found 79.63 percent of his GIR for the tournament.

May 18 - 5:32 PM

Gary Woodland

Gary Woodland spun a 2-under-par 34-34=68 in the third round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship and is in position to pick up his first top 10 of the season at 8-under 202.

Four birdies outpaced two bogeys in Woodland's navigation of TPC Four Seasons, with a 46'8" bomb on the par-4 fourth the highlight. While only landing six (of 14) fairways, he managed to find 14 GIR. Even though is current position is enviable, high winds predicted in the final round could change the entire dynamic of the leaderboard by the end of the day Sunday.

May 18 - 5:27 PM

Harris English

Harris English bogeyed two of his final four holes in posting a 2-under-par 33-35=68 in the third round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship and enters the finale at 8-under 202.

English had a busy day on the card, picking up six birdies and giving back four bogeys on his lap around TPC Four Seasons. His birdies came in binges of three, with a 30'11" putt kicking off the first run at the par-4 sixth and a 5'9" effort at the par-4 11th spurring on his second streak. He hit 12 GIR and picked up more than a stroke on the field with the putter. He'll try and survive what is expected to be a windy final round on Sunday.

May 18 - 5:21 PM

Nathan Green

Nathan Green managed a 2-under-par 34-34=68 in the third round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship, moving inside the top 10 at 7-under 203 with 18 holes to play.

This is just Green's fourth start of 2013, with his only made cut a T31 at the Valero Texas Open. Each of his three birdies fell from outside 20 feet, so the flat stick got the job done. His lone bogey at the par-4 14th was a result of an approach into a greenside bunker and a poor effort on his third shot. Sunday's finale is a big deal. With only past champion status to rely on, a top 10 would get him into the next full-field event.

May 18 - 5:01 PM

Martin Kaymer

Martin Kaymer is positioned for a season-best finish at the HP Byron Nelson Championship after firing a 1-under-par 34-35=69 in the third round.

The German's only top 10 in a PGA TOUR event was a T9 at the WGC-Accenture Match Play, and he hasn't finished any better than a T35 at the Masters in a stroke-play event. In his third navigation of TPC Four Seasons, he circled four birdies and squared three bogeys. Two of those four birdies dropped from outside 22 feet. He enters the final round at 6-under 204.

May 18 - 4:53 PM

Mark Anderson

Mark Anderson pulled in front at the BMW Charity Pro-Am on the Web.com Tour with a 7-under-par 33-31=64 in the third round, boosting him to 21-under 194 and one clear of 36-hole leader Franklin Corpening.

Anderson was cruising along with three birdies and one bogey on his first 14 holes at Thornblade Club, then caught fire over the final four holes. He chipped in for eagle on the par-5 15th, and followed with a birdie on the par-5 16th. He then navigated the difficult final two holes with birdies to end his round. A native of South Carolina, he will try and pick up his first Web.com Tour victory in Sunday's final round.
