Bank roll
Jason Dufner, a 32-year-old veteran from Auburn University, made a tap-in birdie on the par-5 18th for a 65 to get to 16-under at the Deutsche Bank Championship, good for the clubhouse lead.
Steve Stricker is 15 under through 14 holes and Scott Verplank is 15 under through 17, likely the only players who can catch Dufner. Padraig Harrington got it to 16 under through nine, but bogeyed the 10th and dounbled the 12th, leaving the Irishman at 14 under through 17.
Long hitters Angel Cabrera and Dustin Johnson each had birdie putts to get to 16 under, but could not convert.
