"Obviously, we all want to win," Berger said. "But we just go in there with some low expectations and just keep doing what we've been doing."

 

Five teams are within five shots of the leaders after the modified alternate-shot format.

 

Dufner-Snedeker opened the day with three straight birdies, got to 15 under at No. 6, then bogeyed No. 9. They birdied three of their first four holes on back nine before getting more birdies on Nos. 16 and 17.

 

The final round will be Saturday, with a best-ball format.
