While overnight frontrunners Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth struggled, Reed carded a four-under-par 67 in testing winds on the exposed Liberty National course.

At 14-under 199, the American has his sights set on what would be his first victory since last year's Masters.

Mexican Ancer three-putted the 16th hole before parring the last two for a 68 that left him alone in second place in the first of three FedEx Cup playoff events on the PGA Tour.
