LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Troy Matteson birdied the last two holes Saturday, finished with a 7-under-par 65 and had a one-shot lead at 19-under 197 after the third round of the Funai Classic at Disney.

Joe Durant (64) was second at 18-under -- one stroke ahead of first- and second-round leader Justin Rose (72). Twenty others -- including Davis Love III, Mark Calcavecchia and Mike Weir -- were within six shots of the leader.

Matteson, meanwhile, is starting to get accustomed to being on the leaderboard. He tied for eighth four weeks ago at the Southern Farm Bureau Classic, then had a sixth-place finish the following week in Greensboro. The two-week spree moved him from 172nd on the money list to 143rd -- in position to retain his full-time tour card.

LPGA Tour

In Chonburi, Thailand, Nicole Castrale remained in position to win her first LPGA Tour title, shooting a 4-under 68 in hot conditions to take a two-stroke lead into the final round of the Honda LPGA Thailand.

Castrale had an 11-under 133 total. South Korea's Hee-Won Han (68) was 9-under, Christina Kim (66) was 8-under and Gloria Park (68) and Diana D'Alessio (69) were another shot back.

Champions Tour

In San Antonio, Fred Funk shot a 4-under 67 to maintain a one-stroke lead in the AT&T Championship.

The 50-year-old Funk had a 10-under 132 total on the Oak Hills course. Raymond Floyd (66) was a stroke back, and defending champion Jay Haas (64) was two shots behind, along with Keith Fergus (67) and Scott Simpson (68).

In Port St. Lucie, Fla., John Mazza put together his second consecutive strong round in the Callaway Golf Senior PGA Professional National Championship.

The Beaver Falls resident backed up a second-round 65 with a 69 in the third round, and he's alone in third place heading into today's final round.
