(Reuters) - Swede Henrik Stenson posted the best score of the day, a six-under-par 66, to vault within a shot of the third-round lead at the Houston Open on Saturday.

Stenson, one of the best players not to have won a major championship, rolled in a 40-foot putt to save par at the final hole and join Americans Dustin Johnson and Russell Henley in a tie for third at the windy Golf Club of Houston.
