AP....At Cherry Hills Billy Horschel made a 32-foot birdie putt to wrap up his bogey-free third round at 7-under 63 and take a three-shot lead at -13 over Ryan Palmer (67) heading into the final 18 holes of the BMW Championship


He finished T2 last week. Horschel had one of 14 rounds of 67 or better at mile-high Cherry Hills, where soaking rains and cool weather over the last two days have softened the course and chipped away at some of its defences. There were 15 67s or better through the first two days. The course played 1.7 shots easier Saturday than it did Thursday


Bubba Watson shot 66 to draw into a third-place tie at 8 under with U.S. Open champion Martin Kaymer, who made seven birdies over the last 12 holes to shoot 64.


Rory McIlroy made a 60-footer on the fourth to get into a brief tie for the lead but gave all that back and more with a four-putt from inside of 5 feet on No. 12. He eventually shot 2-over 72 and goes into today nine shots off the lead.


Sergio Garcia had a sloppy 2-over 72 that left him seven off the lead.


On the sideline today will be Phil Mickelson, who withdrew after finishing the second round 14 shots off the lead, and Keegan Bradley, who made the difficult decision to withdraw because he didn’t feel right about a drop he made near the 18th green on Thursday. Jason Day also had to WD because of a bad back,


Graham DeLaet is tied for seventh at 5-under 205 after a solid 69 but he will need to finish in the top 5 in order to qualify for the TOUR Championship. He’s currently projected to finish the week 32nd on the FedEx Cup standings
