An eagle at the par-four 15th, where he sank a 20-foot putt, helped Casey to an eight-under-par 62 in benign conditions at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell.

The 40-year-old Englishman, in some of the most sparkling form of his career, posted a 16-under 194 total with one round left.

American Russell Henley shot 67 to move into second place on 12 under, as halfway leader Brian Harman (69) slipped back into a tie for third at 11 under with Anirban Lahiri of India (65) and American J.B. Holmes (65).
