Tim Clark isn't thinking about how close he has come to winning his first PGA Tour title only to come up short.

The South African's approach? He will win — eventually.

If Clark plays his final round as he finished up yesterday, that just might happen at the Stanford St. Jude Championship in Memphis, Tenn.

On a day that started with six players tied for the lead and 52 within six strokes of the top, Clark broke a logjam at the top by finishing a bogey-free 6-under 64 with three birdies and an eagle on his final five holes. Then he watched as his 5-under 205 total held up for a two-stroke lead.

"I feel like I've given myself chances to win," said Clark, who has finished second or tied for second six times — most recently at the Colonial. "Just going to take the position that it's going to happen at some stage. I just need to go out and play and see what happens come the end of the week."

Clark will play in today's final round with countryman Trevor Immelman, the Masters champ, who shot a 67 and was tied at 207 with Bill Haas (67), Alex Cejka (69) and two of the second-round leaders in tour rookie Marc Turnesa (70) and Gavin Coles (70).

Hawai'i's Dean Wilson, among the six second-round co-leaders, finished an up-and-down round with a 71 and was tied with Justin Leonard (67), Stephen Ames (68) and Vijay Singh (70) at 2-under 208.

Wilson, a Castle High alum, birdied the second and third holes to go to 5 under, but bogeyed the fifth and made the turn at 1-under 34. He bogeyed the 14, birdied the 16th, but double-bogeyed the 17th for his 71.
