Danny Lee is still in contention for another excellent finish on the PGA Tour after a solid third round this morning at the Quicken Loans National event in Virginia.
Lee sits in a tie for 12th - four shots off the lead - after a third round two-under 69 brought
him to ten-under par for the tournament.
With low scores on the card yet again at the Robert Trent Jones course, Lee dropped back seven spots, but a strong final round could see him move into contention on the back nine tomorrow.
Lee's round today started slowly with a bogey on his second hole, but he followed that with three consecutive birdies to edge his way up the leaderboard. However, he couldn't go any lower on the back nine, forced to be content his round of 69.
The round of the day - and arguably the year - was shot by American Troy Merritt, who carded a stunning ten-under 61 to rocket from a tie for 35th into a share of the lead at 14-under par.
