(Reuters) - England's Paul Casey, chasing the FedExCup and its $10 million bonus, played solid golf to grab a two-stroke lead over Americans Kevin Kisner and Xander Schauffele heading into the final round of the Tour Championship in Atlanta.

Casey, whose only win on the PGA Tour came at the 2009 Houston Open, moved into contention for the big prize, which will be awarded after Sunday's final round, with a five-under 65 on Saturday to end the day at 12-under 198 for the tournament.
