ARDMORE, Pennsylvania (Reuters) - Charl Schwartzel of South Africa grabbed a one-shot lead midway through Saturday's third round of the U.S. Open as contenders on the jam-packed leaderboard jockeyed for position at Merion.
Schwartzel, the 2011 Masters champion, was the last of six different players to grab a share of the lead during a see-saw front nine that shifted with every hole after the first, and became sole leader with a birdie at 10 to reach two under par.
