Stefani moves one ahead in Memphis


MEMPHIS - PGA Tour rookie Shawn Stefani rebounded superbly from a quadruple-bogey seven at the 11th to edge one stroke clear of playing partner Harris English after Saturday’s third round of the St Jude Classic. Seeking his first victory on the U.S. circuit, American Stefani piled up eight birdies on the way to a four-under-par 66, picking up four shots in his last five holes to post a 12-under total of 198. English, who had been two strokes ahead overnight in pursuit of his maiden PGA Tour title, rolled in a 14-footer to birdie the last for a 69 to secure outright second place. PGA Tour rookie Patrick Reed fired the day’s lowest score, a six-birdie 64 lifting him into a tie for third at eight under with fellow Americans Nicholas Thompson (66) and Scott Stallings (67). –Reuters
