Luke Donald and Padraig Harrington have both finished on 282.
Luke scored68, 72, 71 and 71; Padraig 71, 70, 66 and 75,
Jamie Donaldson finished on 284 (69-72-69-74) and Andy Sullivan totalled 288 (71-71-71-75).

Up at the sharp end of the tournament it could finish in a play-off with Jason Kokrak and Bubba Watson tie-ing for the lead with only a few holes to play.
