Meanwhile,David Toms,who was seven shots ahead of the field fell behind with a four-over 74,even as the lead shifted into the hands of Charlie Wi,hoping to follow fellow Korean KJ Choi,who won the Players Championships,last week.

Toms,who was 62-62 in the first two rounds,blew away a seven-stroke margin and Wi took the lead with a 32-foot birdie putt on the par-3 16th hole.

At 13-under after a four-under 66,Wi had a one-stroke stroke edge over Toms and the 54-hole lead on the PGA Tour for the first time in his career.

A victory would move Wi from 104th position into the top 25 in the FedExCup standings.
