Adam Schenk played bogey-free in strong wind Saturday for a 4-under 67, giving him a share of the lead with Braden Thornberry in what has become a tense chase for a PGA Tour card at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.

Thornberry, a PGA Tour rookie who won the NCAA title at Mississippi eight years ago, shot a 69 to join Schenk at 12-under 201 with hardly any margin for error going into the final round.

Schenk and Thornberry are among 10 players from the top 11 on the leaderboard who arrived in Bermuda outside the top 100 in the FedEx Cup with time running out. The RSM Classic at Sea Island next week ends the season, the first one that offers cards to the top 100 instead of the top 125.

Schenk is at No. 134 and is running out of options. But he began making minor adjustments in his game the last few months and watched it pay off in a timely way at Port Royal.

Thornberry is at No. 178 and only a win would secure a card, coming with a two-year exemption.

But they have plenty of company. The group one behind included Adam Hadwin of Canada, who had the 36-hole lead, who had to settle for a 71 and was in a tie for third; Max McGreevy (69), Chandler Phillips (70) and Takumi Kanaya of Japan (66). Rikuya Hoshino had a 67 and was two behind.

European tour

Rory McIlroy emerged from a wild afternoon at the DP World Tour Championship with three birdies over his last five holes Saturday for a 4-under 68, giving him a share of the lead with Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen as he closes in on a fourth straight Race to Dubai title.

The final hour at the Jumeirah Golf Estates featured an eight-way tie for the lead at one point. Nicolai Hojgaard started the third round with the lead and his twin brother became one of the leaders by the afternoon.

When the third round ended, McIlroy and Neergaard-Peterson (68) were at 13-under 203, one shot clear of Tyrrell Hatton and five other players.

Hatton is the only player with a mathematical chance of catching McIlroy in the Race to Dubai, though it would require a collapse by the Masters champion on the Earth course where McIlroy is defending champion and has three titles.

LPGA Tour

Linn Grant rolled in a pair of 15-foot putts among her five birdies that carried her to a 5-under 65 on Saturday for a one-shot lead in The Annika as she tries to extend her streak to six years with at least one win worldwide.

Grant missed only one green and two fairways at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida,, picking up her last birdie when she got up-and-down from a greenside bunker on the par-5 14th.

She was at 14-under 196, one shot ahead of Jennifer Kupcho, who also played bogey free on a pristine afternoon in the Tampa Bay area.

Nataliya Guseva of Russia made all seven of her birdies over the final 10 holes for a 63 that left her two shots behind along with Evian Championship winner Grace Kim (68).

Grant, a 26-year-old Swede, has gone 35 holes without a bogey heading into the final round.
