PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico - Derek Fathauer played bogey-free for another 6-under 66 on Saturday to build a one-shot lead over Jason Bohn going into the final round of the OHL Classic at Mayakoba.

Bohn made a 25-foot eagle putt to take the lead on a rainy day at El Camaleon Golf Club, and he was still tied for the lead until a bogey on the 18th hole for a 65.

Fathauer was at 16-under 197. He is trying to become the sixth straight first-time winner on the PGA Tour.

Graeme McDowell started with another double bogey and now is 5 over on opening holes this week. A late birdie allowed him to salvage a 70. He was three shots behind along with Justin Leonard, Russell Knox and PGA Tour rookie Harold Varner III.
