Charl Schwarzel in front at Deutsche Bank Championship

Masters champion Charl Schwartzel turned anger into a string of birdies for a five-under 66 on Saturday that put him in a three-way tie for the lead with Adam Scott and Bubba Watson in the Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC Boston in Norton, Mass.

Watson, who finally put some attention back on his golf, played in the morning and produced what he called a “boring” round of 64 that included an eagle on the seventh hole for the second straight day. Scott, who won on the TPC Boston eight years, shot 63 in the afternoon.

Schwartzel would not have imagined another 66 on his card when he made the turn. He was in perfect position off the tee on the par-five 18th until he pulled his approach, and then compounded the error with a three-putt for a soft bogey. Still stewing when he got to the first tee, he left the 5-wood in his bag and hit driver.

“I was, to say the least, fairly upset,” Schwartzel said. “It’s sometimes very crucial to come back straightaway, otherwise your round can get away from you. The birdie on the first just got me going in the right mindset again.”

Brandt Snedeker shot a 64 and was one shot behind. Nick Watney had a 67 and was two shots behind.
