Webb Simpson holds a two-shot lead going into the final round of the Greenbrier Classic after firing a five-under 65 on Saturday.
The US Open champion led going into the third round and, after a sold front nine, carded four birdies in his last six holes to seal his position at the top of the leaderboard. His nearest rival is Troy Kelly, who shot the best round of the day with a 62, while Charlie Beljan, J.B. Holmes and Ken Duke are all a further shot back on 11-under. Despite his advantage, Simpson is taking nothing for granted at While Sulphur Springs and is expecting a tough day on Sunday. "The way I look at it is, I've got to go shoot under par [on Sunday]," he said. "And if I don't, somebody's probably going to play pretty good. I think the golf course is playing in such a way that there's plenty of birdie opportunities. "I've almost got to imagine that these guys are all going to shoot four, five under. I've got to stay aggressive."
