FORT WORTH, Texas — Nick Price doesn't know how many more realistic chances he will have to win on the PGA Tour. He knows he's got a pretty good one at the Colonial.

        Price, 45, who limits his schedule to spend more time with his family, shot a 4-under-par 66 Saturday to take a 5-stroke lead over three players after three rounds.

        “I know if I don't make any bogeys Sunday I'll be hard to beat,” said Price, who is at 10-under 200. “The way I'm playing, I have a lot more confidence in my ability.”

        The 66 followed a 65 Friday that put Price in a share for the lead at the midway point. If he can stay in front 18 more holes, he will win for the first time since the 1998 FedEx St. Jude Classic.

        Price had four birdies in seven holes after almost giving up the lead to his two playing partners early in his round Saturday. He finished with birdies at the 383-yard 17th and 427-yard 18th after consecutive bogeys.

        This is the 14th time that Price has led or had a share of the lead going into the final round. He has won eight times.

        “I'm happy to play well, finish in the top 10 and compete, but there's nothing like winning,” said Price, a top-10 finisher in five of his nine events this year. “That's what has been frustrating. There has always been one bad round that throws me out of contention.”

        Price, the only player with three subpar rounds, has got a little breathing room.

        Northern Kentuckian Steve Flesch, Phil Tataurangi and Kenny Perry were tied for second at 5-under 205. Tom Watson, David Toms, Bob Tway and Esteban Toledo, who shared the second-round lead with Price, were six strokes back. “Obviously Nick has control,” Perry said. “If he shoots a good round, we're not going to catch him.”

        DEUTSCHE BANK OPEN: Tiger Woods shot a 5-under 67 to move within two strokes of leaders Colin Montgomerie and Alex Cejka after the second round in Heidelberg, Germany.

        Montgomerie shot a 68 and Cejka had a 70 for 10-under 134 totals on the St Leon-Rot course. Darren Clarke (68), Richard Green (67), Ian Woosnam (67) and Mark Pilkington (64) were 9 under. John Daly shot his second straight 73 to miss the cut by two strokes.

        LPGA TOUR: Scotland's Janice Moodie waited out a five-hour rain delay and overcame Laura Davies' quick start to take a 3-stroke lead in the suspended third round of the Asahi Ryokuken International in North Augusta, S.C.

        Moodie, at 11-under par, and Davies, at 8 under, are in the same threesome and had five holes remaining when play was called because of darkness.

        When the horn sounded at 8:08 p.m., Annika Sorenstam had just birdied the 13th and 14th holes to reach 6 under. Sorenstam is trying for her second straight LPGA win and fourth in eight starts this year.

        SENIOR TOUR: Jim Thorpe shot a 3-under 69 in the rain-delayed second round of the Instinet Classic to take a 1-stroke lead over John Jacobs in Princeton, N.J. Thorpe, seeking his second victory of the season, completed the round in fading light after the start of play was delayed for five hours by rain.

        He had a 10-under 134 total. Jacobs, who lost a playoff to Thorpe last month in The Tradition, birdied the final hole for a 70.

        Japan's Isao Aoki and Allen Doyle were two strokes back at 8 under after 67s, and Hale Irwin and Mike Hill had 68s to reach 7 under.
