Jay Williamson bogeyed his last two holes Saturday, allowing Skip Kendall to take over sole possession of the lead after three rounds of the $1 million B.C. Open at Endicott, N.Y.

Williamson was at 11 under and held a one-stroke lead when he missed the green on the par-317th. On the par-4 18th, he hit his drive into the water on the left side of the fairway and ended up with another bogey.
