Garrigus leads by 2 in St. Jude Classic

Robert Garrigus got hot with his short putter and shot a 4-under 66 to break out of a pack and grab a two-stroke lead Saturday over Robert Karlsson after three rounds at the St. Jude Classic.

It's the first time the 32-year-old Garrigus has led a PGA Tour event by himself, and he surged to the top of the leaderboard with four birdies and an eagle against two bogeys to reach 11-under 199.

Karlsson, who shot a 68, is within striking distance of becoming the first European to win this event. Lee Westwood had four bogeys and finished with a 71 that left him tied with Heath Slocum (66) at 8 under.
