THE SUMTER ITEM SPORTS SUNDAY, AUGUST 6, 2017 | B3 SPORTS ITEMS Pieters, Johnson share lead at Bridgestone Invitational AKRON, Ohio — Thomas Pieters ended a roller-coaster round with a 30-foot birdie putt for a 4-under 66 that gave him a share of the lead with Zach Johnson going into the final round of the Bridgestone Invitational. Pieters built a big lead early with five birdies on his open- ing eight holes at Firestone, only to run into trouble off the tee. He made only three pars over his last 11 holes and wound up with his best chance yet to win in America. Johnson, who hasn’t won since capturing his second major at St. Andrews in 2015, holed a 10-foot birdie putt on the 18th for a 65. They were at 9-under 201.
