American golfer Patrick Reed has birdied his final two holes for a five-under 67 to surge into the third-round lead at the Wells Fargo Championship.
With one round remaining at Eagle Point, the US PGA Tour tournament remains wide open, even for Dustin Johnson.
Reed stuffed a short iron into four feet on No.17 and reached the 580-yard 18th hole in two for a two-putt birdie, giving him a one-shot lead over Alex Noren of Sweden.
Noren missed a five-foot birdie putt on the last hole that would have tied Reed at eight-under 208.
Seventeen players were within four shots of the lead.
That includes Phil Mickelson (69) and Johnson, who had a 67 despite missing a half-dozen chances from inside 15 feet on pure greens.
Brett Drewitt is the leading Australian at even par after a round of 71 moved him into a tie for 49th.
