Jim Furyk takes a one-stroke lead into third round of the 2012 Tour Championship, which gets underway on Saturday morning. Rory McIlroy, who came into the tournament at the top of the FedExCup standings, is currently in a tie for seventh and in position to claim the overall championship. More than half of the field will need him to finish lower than seventh in order to have a mathematical shot at winning the title.
