Adam Schenk shot a 4-under 67 Saturday to share the lead with Braden Thornberry at 12-under 201 after three rounds of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship in Southampton, Bermuda.

Thornberry carded a 69 on Saturday heading into the final round at the Port Royal Golf Course.

Four players -- Max McGreevy, Chandler Phillips, Takumi Kanaya of Japan and 36-hole leader Adam Hadwin of Canada -- are just a shot behind the leaders at 11-under 202.

Hadwin is the only player in the group with a PGA Tour victory.

Schenk, who is 134th in the FedEx Cup fall points standings, had four birdies and no bogeys in strong wind on Saturday. His birdies came on the 10th, 11th, 13th and 17th holes. While he is the 54-hole leader or co-leader for the fifth time his PGA career, he is still seeking his first victory in his 243rd start.

"A great opportunity to have for tomorrow," Schenk said Saturday. "I know if I don't, I have to go to Q-School if I don't get inside the top 100, so that's a pretty big motivator and what a great opportunity to have tomorrow."

Thornberry, a PGA Tour rookie who is No. 178 in the points standings, had an eagle on the par-5 17th, along with three birdies and two bogeys, in the third round.

Thornberry said he's looking forward to the final round.

"I'm super excited. It's a battle out there," he said.

Rikuya Hoshino of Japan was the lone golfer at 10-under 203 after a 67 on Saturday, and four players were tied at 9-under 204.
