Jesper Parnevik has already put his name into the record book at the Greater Greensboro Chrysler Classic. He took aim at the PGA Tour's record book today.

Parnevik shot a 5-under 67 in the third round at Forest Oaks Country Club to move to 21-under par, breaking by four shots the 54-hole tournament record set by Sandy Lyle in 1988.

His three-round score of 195 is also the best on tour this year, beating David Duval's 198 at the season-opening Mercedes Championships and Tiger Woods at the Buick Invitational.

Parnevik bogeyed two of his last three holes and fell three shots shy of the tour's 54-hole record of 24-under par set by John Cook at the FedEx St. Jude Classic in 1996. He missed by six strokes Cook's record 54-hole shot total of 189.

"You can't believe how much fun it is to play golf when you feel like you can birdie every hole," said Parnevik, who also set the tournament's 36-hole scoring record. "It doesn't matter if you're in the rough or the fairway, you feel like you have a chance for a birdie. You don't get that feeling too often when you play golf."

After shooting a 2-under 34 on the front nine, Parnevik reeled off birdies on Nos. 10, 11, 12, 13 and 15 before bogeys at 16 and 17. He pulled his tee shot on 18 into the rough, but scrambled for a par, just the fifth of his wild round.

"I was just laughing out there all day," said Parnevik, who's birdied 22 of his 54 holes in the tournament. "They tried to tuck the pins on most of the holes, but when you have the feeling I have now, you just go for everything."

Despite shooting his third sub-70 round of the tournament, Parnevik struggled with his driver all day, hitting the fairway off the tee just five times.

He bogeyed the first hole after hitting his tee shot into a fairway bunker and three-putting from 40 feet. He then pulled his tee shot into the rough on the second hole and was forced to lay up 40 yards short of the green. But Parnevik hit a wedge shot that used backspin to roll within a foot of the hole and tapped in the putt for his first birdie of the day.

"It was probably the best shot I hit this year by far," Parnevik said of the wedge shot. "Bogey-bogey was definitely not something I was looking for."

After a par at the third hole, Parnevik dropped his tee shot at the par-3 fourth to within 6 feet and sank the putt to move to 17-under.

He birdied the fifth hole and countered a bogey at the sixth by rolling a 25-foot birdie putt over a ridge on the par-3 eighth.

Jeff Maggert, who matched the course record with a 62 on Friday, couldn't keep pace on Saturday. Maggert parred his first nine holes, then bogeyed the 10th and 11th. He shot a 75 playing in the same group as Parnevik and is 10 shots behind him heading into the final round.

Jim Furyk started the day two shots behind Parnevik and was the only competitor to stay close Saturday.

Playing in the group in front of the leader, Furyk moved to 3-under for the day with a birdie on the par-5 13th. His next birdie, however, came on 18 and he will start the final round three shots back.

"I can't really help what he did," Furyk said of Parnevik. "All I can do is go out there and play my best and not worry about it."

Dudley Hart shot a 71 on Sunday to move to 14-under.

Divots: Parnevik needs a 64 Sunday to set a PGA Tour record for most strokes under par in a 72-hole event - 28-under set by John Huston at the 1998 Hawaiian Open. ... Defending champion Trevor Dodds shot a 72 to move to 8-under for the tournament. Dodds and Scott Verplank were 12-under after four rounds last year before Dodds won in a playoff. ... A fan suffered a heart attack while Parnevik was playing the 13th hole. The man collapsed in front of a set of bleachers to the right of the green and was treated by paramedics before being taken to Moses Cone Hospital. Laurie Stegall, the tournament's legal counsel, said the man was in the hospital's intensive care unit. His name was not released.
