John Huh turned in an even-par 70 on Saturday to tie Patrick Reed at 10 under par for the lead at the Wyndham Championship, the last 2013 PGA Tour regular-season tournament prior to the start of the FedEx Cup Playoffs next week.

While the young guys, Patrick Reed, John Huh and Jordan Spieth, treaded water on Saturday, veterans Zach Johnson and Bob Estes turned in sub-par rounds and put themselves in the mix for the final round on Sunday.

Huh is just 23 years old and has one PGA Tour win at the 2012 Mayakoba Open. He has one top-10 finish in 2013 and could only managed an even-par 70 on Saturday.

Jordan Spieth, the first teenager to win on tour in over 80 years, posted an even-par 70 but is only one stroke behind Reed and Huh heading into the last round.

Spieth is 19 years old and just turned professional last fall. He began the 2013 season with no status on any tour. He earned enough with a runner-up finish in Puerto Rico to gain a temporary tour card, and his win at the John Deere Classic brought him full status and a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour.
