NORTON, Mass. -- Paul Casey finished with a birdie and an eagle over the last three holes Sunday for a 5-under 66 and a three-shot lead going into the Labor Day finish at the Deutsche Bank Championship.Casey hit a 7-iron inside 5 feet for birdie on the par-3 16th, and then he drilled a 3-iron into the swirling wind on the par-5 18th that worked out perfectly. It landed just left of the green, caught a ridge and rolled to 30 inches away to set up the eagle.Casey is at 15-under 198; the 39-year-old from England is going after his first PGA Tour win in seven years.To be sitting here at 66, Im obviously over the moon, Casey said. Even with the great ball striking, I found it difficult at the beginning, but to turn it around and have a lot of looks for birdies and make a few to come in, its been great.Brian Harman had a 68 and was three shots behind.PGA champion Jimmy Walker recovered from a rough start for a 70 and was four shots behind, along with Smylie Kaufman and Kevin Chappell, who had the lead until he was derailed by a double-bogey on the 12th hole.Casey has endured plenty of trauma on and off the course since winning the Houston Open in 2009, particularly a shoulder injury, and now has a cushion going into a final round that could be the biggest battle of the week at the TPC Boston.Remnants of Hurricane Hermine are expected Monday, so the starting times have been moved earlier to give the PGA Tour the best chance to finish. The forecast is for gusts that approach 40 mph at times, and spots of heavy showers.Until Caseys late finish, it was shaping up as a shootout.Louis Oosthuizen shot a 64 before the leaders even teed off and reached 9-under 204. Rory McIlroy made six birdies and an eagle to overcome a few mistakes for a 66. He also was at 204. And because of the wind, no one appeared to be running away with it.Chappell, still looking for his first PGA Tour victory, made a birdie at the 10th to get to 13 under until he came up short of the green on the 12th hole, into the native scrub; he blasted over the green and took double-bogey. Casey noticed the leaderboard early, and the next time he saw the board, there were a lot more names.That didnt affect the shots he chose to play, though he was happy with the results -- especially the last one.Casey had 232 yards to the hole with the wind coming in and from the left. The wind picked up and his caddie, John McLaren, stopped him and called him off. The wind died slightly, and the fun wasnt over.It looked left, Casey said of his shot. And then the wind gusted and it went right. And after that, I was happy it got over.Casey was amazed by the low scoring, including his own, given the wind. The tour prepared for it by moving up several tees.A lot of guys were tearing it up, he said. Shows how good guys are out there.Casey has been through that before. Asked why he has only one PGA Tour victory -- he has 14 on the European Tour, mostly recently the KLM Open two years ago -- Casey pointed to his early years in the Tiger Woods era.They seemed to play the same schedule, and Casey said that made it even tougher. And then there were the injuries, which slowed his career. Casey said he has had no excuses the last couple of years, and he was determined to change that.All he has left is one more round, and what figures to be a day of nasty weather.Only five players were within five shots of the lead, including Ryan Moore (68) at 10-under 203.Dustin Johnson wasnt among them. He was a birdie away from tying for the 36-hole lead on Saturday. Starting the third round just three shots behind, Johnson stumbled to a 75 and was 11 shots back. Jordan Spieth didnt fare much better. He was five shots behind and had to rally with two late birdies for a 72. He is 10 behind.The top 70 in the FedEx Cup advance to the BMW Championship, which starts Thursday at Crooked Stick in Indiana. Casey was at No. 59 going into the Deutsche Bank, while Harman was at No. 67. Getting to the next FedEx Cup playoff event is no longer a concern. Discount Nike Shoes China . Takahashi, who had a 10-point lead after the short program, received 268.31 points after the free skate to finish 15 points ahead of second-place Nobunari Oda. Discount Nike Shoes Online . With his new coach and six-time Grand Slam singles champion Boris Becker watching him during an official match for the first time, Djokovic appeared tentative early against the Slovakian player, who often appeared content to keep the ball in play. http://www.discountshoesnike.com/ .ca look back at each of the Top 10 stories of 2013.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Iowa State spent the last 61 weeks in the Top 25.After getting crushed by Iowa, the Cyclones run as a ranked team is likely finished.Peter Jok scored 23 points and the Hawkeyes upset 25th-ranked Iowa State 78-64 on Thursday night, snapping a three-game losing skid against its instate rival.Isaiah Moss had 14 points to help the Hawkeyes (5-5), who start three freshmen, beat a Power Five opponent for this first time this season.I felt like we had the potential to be better than we were playing, said Iowa coach Fran McCaffery, whose once-reeling team lost to Nebraska-Omaha 98-89 last weekend. What were able to do is grow and learn.Iowa shot 59 percent in the first half, including 6 of 10 from 3-point range, and jumped ahead by as much as 46-29. The Cyclones (6-3) slowly chipped away at that deficit in the second half, but a 7-0 run by the Hawkeyes after Iowa State got to 60-53 finished them off.We were bad, Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said. We lost that game in the first half.Matt Thomas scored 14 points to lead the Cyclones, who were just 8 of 30 from 3-point range. Ball movement was again an issue for Iowa State, which had just nine assists on 25 made baskets -- although it did miss about a dozen layups.We have to play a certain way. We have to play with great pace. We have to play with great spacing. We have to play with great ball movement. Thats when were really good, Prohm said.THE BIG PICTUREIowa State: The Cyclones looked awful in the opening 20 minutes -- which they closed quite fittingly with an air ball -- and they couldnt shoot their way out of trouble. Stretches like that are starting to become commonplace for Iowa State, and thats a bad omen with Big 12 play a few weeks away.Iowa: After getting hammered by the likes of Virginia and Notre Dame, the Hawkeyes finally put it together against a good opponent.dddddddddddd The Hawkeyes beat Iowa State in transition and on the defensive glass, and their freshman-dominated lineup was hardly fazed in their debuts in this heated rivalry.POLL IMPLICATIONS: Losing to one of just two Power Five teams (Oregon State) with losing records as the 25th-ranked team in America wont look good to most voters -- and thats an understatement.RISING STARMcCaffery looks like he unearthed a gem in freshman Cordell Pemsl, a three-star recruit from nearby Dubuque, Iowa that most folks didnt think could contribute like he has right away. Pemsl is averaging 17 points in his last four games after an 11-point, five-rebound performance Thursday. People have to respect us. We may be young, but we dont use that as an excuse, Pemsl said.THE NUMBERSDeonte Burton, Monte Morris, Naz Mitrou-Long and Nick Weiler-Babb all scored 10 for Iowa State. But only Weiler-Babb made at least half his shots. ...Iowa had 13 assists and turnovers. ...Jok also had a team-high nine rebounds. ...The Cyclones like to run. But they had just four fast-break points.HAWKEYE STATEIowas fans delighted in finally beating their rivals again, chanting Hawkeye State! in the closing seconds. But despite the loss, Iowa State is much more of a potential conference and NCAA Tournament threat than the Hawkeyes, who will undoubtedly continue to have ups and down because theyre so young.UP NEXTIowa State plays Drake in Des Moines on Dec. 17. The Bulldogs are reeling after coach Ray Giacoletti abruptly resigned Tuesday less than four years into his tenure.Iowa also will play in next weekends doubleheader in the state capital, facing Northern Iowa on Saturday.---More college basketball at www.collegebasketball.ap.org ' ' '
