NAPA, Calif. — Brian Stuard closed with a scrambling birdie for a 6-under 66 and a share of the Safeway Open lead with James Hahn and Cameron Percy.

He made a 7-foot putt on the par-5 18th after finding the rough. Hahn needed 28 putts, but made birdies on Nos. 15 and 16 for a 67. Percy had a 68 to join the group at 16-under 200. He nearly took himself out of the hunt after bogeys on Nos. 11 and 14, but bounced back with birdies on two of the final three holes. Third-round leader Sam Burns struggled to a 72 that left him tied with Kristoffer Ventura (66) and Harry Higgs (70) at 15 under. Emiliano Grillo (65), Stewart Cink (65), Doug Ghim (69), D.J.
