Stenson one stroke from third-round lead at Houston Open (Reuters)

(Reuters) - Swede Henrik Stenson posted the best score of the day, a six-under-par 66, to vault within a shot of the third-round lead at the Houston Open on Saturday. Stenson, one of the best players not to have won a major championship, rolled in a 40-foot putt to save par at the final hole and join Americans Dustin Johnson and Russell Henley in a tie for third at the windy Golf Club of Houston.

American journeymen Jim Herman and Jamie Lovemark carded 67 and 70 respectively to head a crowded leaderboard at 11-under 205.
