Tony Finau picked up five strokes on the back nine and grabbed a one-shot lead over Webb Simpson, who celebrated a hole in one, in the third round of the Phoenix Open on Saturday. “I had a perfect number for a sand wedge and go ahead and fire right at the pin,” Finau told CBS Television. That was pretty nice.”Simpson, whose ace came at the 12th, stood deadlocked with Finau until a bogey at the 17th left him at seven-under 64 for the day. Holmes, who was one stroke ahead of Wyndham Clark after Friday’s play, finally righted himself after an up-and-down round. Clark fell seven shots off the pace after a three-over 74 that included four bogeys and a birdie.
