De Jong leads, Tiger lurking at AT&T

BETHESDA, Md. (AP) —iger Woods played before the largest crowd of the day, even though it never topped 100. Brendon de Jonge had as many birdies — three — as people in his gallery on a strange, silent Saturday at the AT&T National.

A violent wind storm overnight that toppled dozens of trees and littered the course with limbs forced tournament officials to keep spectators and all but the essential volunteers away from Congressional for the third round. Considering the amount of debris, it was amazing they even played.

De Jonge was steady in the steamy heat for a third straight round in the 60s, this one a 2-under 69 that gave him a one-shot lead over Woods, Bo Van Pelt and S.Y. Noh headed into a final round that figures to be a lot more noisy.

Woods and Van Pelt shot 67, and Noh had a 69.
