Madison’s Steve Stricker eagled the 18th hole and fired a 6-under par 65 to share the lead with Retief Goosen and Sean O’Hair after three rounds at the PGA’s Deutsche Bank Championship in Norton, Massachusetts.
Stricker’s approach shot from 230 yards away bounced off a bank in front of the green and rolled up to about 5-feet from the hole for his eagle putt.
