Calcavecchia, the 1989 British Open champion, started the day with a five-shot lead, but battled inconsistent drives and missed putts in a round 72 for a 6-under 204 total.

Calcavecchia's struggles gave the rest of the field the opening it needed, and 12 players moved within five shots of the lead entering the final round at Shaughnessy Golf Club.

After opening with rounds of 65 and 67, Calcavecchia didn't made a birdie in the third round.

Calcavecchia is seeking his first PGA Tour win in four years and will have to hold off a host of challengers to pull off the feat, including Barlow, who shot 65, and Jesper Parnevik (67), who are one shot back at 5 under. Ryan Moore (67), the 2004 U.S. Amateur and NCAA champion, is two shots back.

Ames is in a four-way tie at 3 under in a group that also includes defending champion Vijay Singh (68), Jerry Kelly (69) and Brian Davis (66).
