Saturday's Golf Capsules

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Robert Karlsson shot a 2-under 68 on Saturday to remain atop the leaderboard through three rounds in the St. Jude Classic.

Karlsson looked ready to run away from the field, leading by five strokes on the back nine, but the Swede closed with his only bogeys of the day, dropping to 11 under and one stroke ahead of Harrison Frazar.

Frazar shot a 64. John Merrick (67) was third at 8 under.

The 41-year-old Karlsson, an 11-time winner on the European Tour, is trying to become the seventh first-time winner on the PGA Tour this year and the first in Memphis since Dicky Pride in 1994.
