Robert Thompson carded a three-under 69 to move into second at minus-five.

Tom McKnight fired the low round of the week so far with his seven-under 65. That jumped him into a share of third place at four-under-par 212. He was joined there by Jay Don Blake (70).

Through three rounds, Blake is the only player to break par each round.

Morse, who has led since the second nine of the opening round, parred his first five holes. He moved to minus-nine with a birdie on the par-four sixth.

Around the turn at the TPC at Eagle Trace, Morse tripped to a bogey on the 11th. He fell to minus-six with a double-bogey at the 14th.

Morse slipped to another bogey at the 16th, but came right back with a birdie on 17 to remain atop the leaderboard after three rounds.

Thompson faltered to a bogey on the third, but rebounded with three birdies in a four-hole span from the fifth to move to minus-four. He tripped to a bogey at 13, but birdies at 15 and 17 got Thompson within one of the lead.

Ronnie Black (67), David Ogrin (70), James Mason (68) and Tim Conley (68) share fifth place at three-under-par 213. Mike San Filippo posted a 68 Thursday to move into ninth at minus-two.

Steve Thomas carded a five-under 67 to climb into 10th at one-under-par 215. Mark W. Johnson entered the day alone in second, but faltered to a five-over 77 that dropped him into 11th place at even-par.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
