Simpson stays in contention in Georgia

Webb Simpson shot a 1-under 69 Saturday and is tied for third heading into the final round of the McGladrey Classic at St. Simons Island, Ga. Simpson and world No. 1 Luke Donald are vying for the PGA Tour money title and both have said they will play next week at Disney in the season's final event. Simpson trails Donald by $68,971, but could move into the top spot with a strong round Sunday. Michael Thompson had three early birdies and finished with a 67 to move into the lead, one shot better than second-round leader Billy Horschel.
