Brett Stegmaier takes 1-shot lead in Las Vegas (The Associated Press)

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Brett Stegmaier birdied the final hole Saturday for a 3-under 68 and a one-stroke lead in the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

Making his fifth career PGA Tour start, Stegmaier rebounded for a bogey on the par-3 17th with a 13-foot birdie putt on the par-4 18th to reach 13-under 68. The 32-year-old former University of Florida player completed a second-round 66 on Saturday morning for a share of the lead.

''It played a little tougher, so played a little more conservatively,'' Stegmaier said. ''Certainly happy to make four birdies and one bogey and be in the lead.
