Scott has three-shot lead in PGA Tour event

NORTON, Mass. (AP) -- Adam Scott played well enough to effectively end the Deutsche Bank Championship on Sunday, just like most PGA Tour events.
Instead, the easygoing Aussie still has a full day of work left for his first PGA Tour win.
Scott built a five-stroke lead through seven holes, then watched several opportunities slip away before settling for a 4-under 67 on the TPC of Boston and a three-shot lead over Jonathan Kaye.
Scott was at 15-under 198 after finishing with a birdie on the final hole -- but only after missing a 12-foot eagle putt that epitomized his round. He missed five birdie chances from about that range, sometimes even shorter.
Kaye had six birdies on the back nine -- the longest from 8 feet -- and had a season-best 63 to get into the final group for the second straight week. He was runner-up to Darren Clarke in the NEC Invitational at Firestone.
Clarke is back in the picture, too, finally converting his birdie chances down the stretch for a 67 that left only four back, at 202, along with Geoff Ogilvy (68) and Justin Rose (68).
Tiger Woods, whose foundation gets the charitable proceeds from the Deutsche Bank Championship, finished strong for a 67 but was eight strokes behind. Woods has never won a PGA Tour event from more than five shots back.
It will be the first Labor Day finish on the PGA Tour -- at least by design.
