Snedeker shot a 66 while Piercy had a pair of eagles en route to a 65 in thethird round on Saturday amid a loud, rowdy crowd estimated at just over 121,000.Many were on hand for the party as much, or more than, for the golf tournament.

Rickie Fowler and Matt Every were two back at 12-under going into Sunday’sfinal round. Camilo Villegas, who shared the lead with Mark Wilson after tworounds, birdied the last two holes to finish even for the day and minus-11 forthe tournament.
