CROMWELL, CT - 54-hole leader Fredrik Jacobson spent much of Sunday afternoon trying to keep his head above water while the likes of Ryan Moore, John Rollins and Michael Thompson were frantically chasing him down like a pack of galloping thoroughbreds.   

Ryan Moore came flying out of the gate with birdies on five of his first seven holes, while Rollins and Thompson made their charges on the back nine.

From there, Moore nearly holed his bunker shot for improbable birdie that would have brought him to 21-under-par and forced Jacobson, who was standing in the fairway behind him, to close with a birdie of his own.

However, Moore pushed his putt and had to settle for a bogey, which dropped him one stroke off of Jacobson’s lead.

“Really hit my first bad putt of the day,” Moore said following his round.
