Carmel, IN (Sports Network) - Vijay Singh and Phil Mickelson are tied atop the leaderboard after Saturday's third round of the BMW Championship, the third PGA Tour Playoffs event.

Singh, the second-round leader, bogeyed the last for a 3-under 69. Mickelson fired an 8-under 64 and the pair is knotted at 16-under-par 200 at Crooked Stick.

Two Hall of Famers in first is something, but those right behind the leaders could make this a final round to remember.

World No. 1 Rory McIlroy, who leads the FedExCup Playoffs points race thanks to his win last week at the Deutsche Bank Championship and his victory at the PGA Championship, birdied the last to match Lee Westwood in a tie for third.

Tiger Woods lurks only 3 back at 13-under par after a third round that wasn't too spectacular.

Woods appeared to aggravate his knee injury and shot a 1-under 71.

Dustin Johnson (67), Adam Scott (66) and Robert Garrigus (66) share fifth at 14-under, one shot ahead of Woods, who is alone in eighth.
