Saturday’s third round of the Shell Houston Open on the Redstone Tournament Course, Humble Texas, saw two Texans battle it out at the top of the leaderboard but at the end of the day Johnson Wagner prevailed and shot a 3 under par 69 on Saturday to take a one shot lead over Chad Campbell.

Wagner (28) is still without his maiden tour win after 43 career starts, has a 15-under 201 total

Campbell chalked up four birdies and an eagle in his first nine holes for a 65. Charley Hoffman and Bob Estes are three behind at 12 under. Estes shot a 64, the best round of the day. Hoffman had a 69. Geoff Ogilvy shot a 66 to reach 10 under, and Mathew Goggin was another shot back after a 72.

Wagner started the day three shots ahead of Hoffman and Goggin. Campbell was five back, but made up that deficit in eight holes.

Campbell had the putt of the day, a 62 footer down a slope on the sixth, two holes later he holed a wedge from 88 yards for an eagle on the par 5 eighth.

Wagner, who was in the group behind Campbell and watched his rival’s progress, said.

“I definitely didn’t like starting with a three-shot lead and seeing it erased immediately,”
