Quick hits from Saturday's Wyndham Championship 3rd round
Top quote - Richy Werenski
"Just been playing solid golf the last few weeks," Werenski told Amanda Balionis of CBS after a third-round 64. "I started just trying to get the ball in the hole, play golf, instead of work on my swing and try and change something."
Best round - Jason Kokrak (63)
Kokrak made the biggest move on Saturday, thanks to a bogey-free 63 at Sedgefield. The 32-year-old opened with a birdie at No.1, then made back-to-back birdies at Nos. 5 and 6 for a front-nine 32. On the back side, Kokrak trimmed four more strokes to climb 51 spots in the third round.

Biggest disappointment - Seamus Power
The Irishman is one of those players on the FedEx Cup Playoff bubble, and his back nine on Saturday was a disaster. Power carded five bogeys and a double to shoot 74 and fall out of the top 125 picture.
Stat - Davis Love III and possible history
A win by the 1997 PGA champion on Sunday at the Wyndham, and Love would become the oldest player to win on the PGA Tour at age 53.
Sunday's storyline
- Ollie Schniederjans has never won on the PGA Tour, but he's got a great opportunity on Sunday.
- A number of players are vying for FedExCup spots and PGA Tour cards in the final regular season tournament of the year.
