Wagner leads by one
Johnson Wagner got lucky bounces on two tee shots and shot a three-under-par 69 on Saturday to take a one-shot lead over Chad Campbell after the third round of the Houston Open.
Wagner, winless in 43 career starts, had a 15-under 201 total at Humble, Texas.
Campbell, playing one group ahead of Wagner, birdied five of his first nine holes for a 65. Charley Hoffman and Bob Estes were three behind.
On the back nine, Wagner got away with two bad tee shots, hitting a spectator on the 13th and a tree on the 15th, but escaping with two pars.
Defending champion Adam Scott, who shared the first-round lead with Wagner, withdrew Saturday morning because of strep throat.
