Atwal alone at the top of Wyndham Championship

Golf Betting Lines

08/21/2010 - Greensboro, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Arjun Atwal fired a five-under 65 on Saturday to take sole possession of the lead after the third round of the Wyndham Championship.

Atwal, who fired a 61 for the first-round lead and shared first after round two, finished 54 holes at 17-under 193 and is three strokes clear at Sedgefield Country Club.

Scott McCarron (63), Scott Piercy (64) and Lucas Glover (67) are knotted in second place at minus-14.

Second-round co-leader and 2007 champion Brandt Snedeker only managed a one- under 69 and is tied for fifth place with Will MacKenzie (65), Garrett Willis (65), David Toms (65), Justin Leonard (66) and John Rollins (68). The group finished at 13-under 197.

This is the final week for qualifying for the FedEx Cup playoffs, which begin next week with The Barclays.

Atwal can't participate in the playoffs. His status on the PGA Tour ran out when he didn't make enough money playing on a medical exemption during his first eight starts this year.

Even if Atwal wins, he won't get to play again until at least the Fall Series of events. He could play in Europe, where he still has status from a 2008 victory, but a victory on Sunday would be his first on tour and get him a two- year exemption.
