Americans Matt Kuchar and Scott Piercy share the lead after Saturday's third round of the PGA Turning Stone Resort Championship.

Kuchar shot a five-under 67, while Piercy had a six-under 66 Saturday to move to 14-under 202. They are one stroke in front at Atunyote Golf Club at Turning Stone Resort.

"Today, with these conditions, you could attack every pin," said Kuchar. "Even if you short-sided yourself, you could place the ball in the rough, have a beautiful lie and have a pretty good chip for birdie."

Australia's Rod Pampling (65) and rookie Leif Olson (68) share third place at minus-13, which is one better than Nicholas Thompson, who had a three-under 69 on Saturday.

American Vaughn Taylor, who led after the second round, shot a one-under 71 and is tied for sixth place with Jonathan Byrd (67), Tim Petrovic (68) and Fredrik Jacobson (69). They are at 11-under 205.

On the par-five closing hole, Kuchar laid up with his second shot. He knocked his third to nine feet, but his birdie chance for sole possession of the lead went wide right. He made his par.

Kucher is seeking his second tour win after a 2002 victory. Kuchar is 59th on the money list and secured his card for next year.

"There is a major goal in mind and that is to make the field for the Masters next year," said Kuchar, who needs to get into the top 30 on the final money list for an invitation to Augusta next spring.

Tour rookie Piercy is 91st on the money list.

"I've been hitting the ball well for about the last six or eight weeks, but the scores aren't showing," acknowledged Piercy, who has only one bogey this week. "I usually make enough birdies and if I can eliminate the bogeys, I should have a pretty good chance."

Defending champion Dustin Johnson shot a three-under 69 and is tied for 15th at minus-eight.
