Two 68s vaults Olson into Sahalee Players lead: Eddie Olson is an All-American from UNLV, so he knows a thing or two about heat.

But this kind of pressure-cooker might be a little different heading into today's final round of the 16th Sahalee Players Championship in Sammamish.

Olson shot matching 3-under-par 68s on Thursday in the second and third rounds of the championship, and sits at 9-under 207, good enough for a one-stroke advantage.

This week: PGA Tour's AT&T Classic, Thursday through Sunday, Congressional Country Club, Bethesda, Md.

First-round score: 1-under-par 69.

Position: Moore is tied for 20th, seven strokes behind leader Anthony Kim, who set the course record with a 62.

Recap: Take away Kim, or even host Tiger Woods, who shot 64, Moore's round was pretty solid. He didn't have many scoring chances, either scrambling with chips from around the greens, or facing long birdie putts of 35 feet or longer on a number of occasions. That is why he made 17 pars and one birdie – on the par-4 fourth when he hit his 144-yard, 9-iron approach close, and sank a 10-foot putt.

Tee time Friday: 9:12 a.m. PDT off the first tee.
