Bubba Watson bogeyed three of the last six holes on Saturday to fall back into a share of the lead after three rounds of the Travelers Championship.

Watson posted an even-par 70 to end three rounds at 10-under-par 200. He was joined there by Graham DeLaet, who fired a 5-under 65, and Charley Hoffman, who carded a 4-under 66 in round three.

Chris Stroud shot 4-under 66 at TPC River Highlands and jumped into a share of fourth with Nick O'Hern at minus-9. O'Hern carded a 2-under 68 on Saturday.

Ken Duke carded a 65 in round three and is alone in sixth at 8-under 202.

Watson kicked in a short birdie putt at the second and made it two in a row as he holed a birdie effort from off the green at the third. He extended his lead with a 2-putt birdie at the par-5 sixth.

The 2012 Masters champion parred his next six holes before falling back to the field. He found rough off the tee at the par-5 13th and that led to a bogey, which dropped him to 12-under.

Watson drove within 15 yards of the 15th green, but needed two chips to reach the putting surface, then he 2-putted from just inside eight feet to drop another stroke.

The four-time PGA Tour winner went bunker to bunker on the 17th. He blasted to 18 feet, then 2-putted for bogey from the fringe to slide into a share of the lead. Watson parred the last to finish alongside DeLaet and Hoffman.

"I hit some shots today that were really good, some quality shots. Got a couple bad breaks here and there, but that's golf," Watson said. "At the end of the day, I still have a chance on Sunday, and that's what we're always looking for on the week that we're playing."

DeLaet birdied the second from inside two feet before running off seven straight pars from the third. He caught fire around the turn.

The Canadian drained a 14-footer for birdie at 10 and followed with a 7-foot birdie effort at the 11th. DeLaet converted an 8-footer for birdie at 12 and he made it four in a row with 4-foot birdie putt at No. 13.

DeLaet 3-putted for bogey at 16, but closed with a birdie from off the green at the last to post a 10-under.

Hoffman, who shared second here last year with Watson, birdied the first from eight feet out. Birdies at the fourth and sixth moved him to minus-9.

At the 10th, Hoffman drained a 4-foot birdie putt. He gave that stroke back when he 3-putted the 12th. The 36-year-old atoned for that mistake with a tap- in birdie at No. 14. Hoffman parred the last four holes to share the lead.

U.S. Open champion Just Rose carded his second straight 68 to end three rounds tied for seventh at 7-under 203.
