DATELINE: WILLIAMSBURG LENGTH: Medium
Carter had a 54-hole total of 203, 10 under par for three trips over the sweltering Kingsmill Golf Club's River Course. The temperature on the course was at least 98 degrees, and the heat index made it feel like 118.
Carter, who lives in Scottsdale, Ariz., seemed the least affected by the heat on the 6,797-yard layout. And unlike the second round, when he went on bogey binges each time he got to 10 under, this time he kept his cool, finishing with seven straight pars.
After canceling a birdie on No.3 with a bogey on the next hole, Carter made short birdie putts at 6 and 7 and reached the turn at nine under. He got it to 10 under when he made a downhill 10-footer on No.11.
On Friday, Carter twice got to 10 under. The first time he immediately made two straight bogeys, and the second time he made three in a row.
``To play a good round in those kind of conditions and to be around the lead in a golf tournament, I'm real proud of that,'' he said.
Gallagher, who teed off at 3 p.m., started with eight pars and made a tap-in for birdie at 9. He gave that back two holes later with a bogey, but regained a share of the lead with birdies on 13 and 14.
He stayed even with Carter until 18, when he three-putted from about 50 feet.
``It was so slow out there,'' Gallagher said. ``It's difficult to keep your concentration in that heat. I'm wet from head to toe.''
McCallister, playing with Gallagher in the final group of the day, eagled the 516-yard, par-5 7th, then gave both shots back with a double-bogey at No.8. McCallister got back to nine under with a birdie at 14.
Tryba birdied four of five holes in one stretch and then made a 45-foot birdie putt on 18.
Paul Goydos, who matched the best round of the tournament with a 65, Scott Simpson, Lennie Clements and Fred Funk were all at 206.
