In Fort Worth, Texas, Matt Kuchar made a 12-foot birdie putt at the 16th hole to regain the lead near the end of a long day at Colonial, and led four players by a stroke after three rounds.
Kuchar had a 1-under 69 that included some near misses and a nice par save at No. 17 to get to 11-under 199. Graham DeLaet, Boo Weekley, Chris Stroud and Matt Every were tied for second.
Jeff Overton was disqualified midway through the round for illegally using a putting aid during play. PGA Tour officials say Overton used it on a nearby practice green while waiting to tee off at No. 10.
