Jeff Maggert held on to the lead Saturday in the Charles Schwab Cup Championship, while Jerry Kelly played one of the best rounds of the day to get back in the fight for the PGA Tour Champions' season points title.

Maggert birdied the par-5 18th for a 2-under 69 and holds a one-stroke lead over Miguel Angel Jimenez heading into the final day at Phoenix Country Club.

''I always feel like Saturday's the hardest day to play with the lead because you want to stay in the lead and then it's like you're kind of in between,'' Maggert said. ''I wanted to be aggressive. It would have been nice to shoot another 4, 5, 6 under, but it's a long way to the finish and just need to play steady tomorrow and make some birdies.''

Jimenez birdied the final two holes for a 63.

''Yesterday it was no good, but today it was working back again like the first round,'' Jimenez said. ''The greens are very good and the people are hitting low. On this course, you need to hole putts.''

Kelly, who is second behind Scott McCarron in the standings, followed a second-round 74 with a 64 to move into a tie for 12th at 9 under.

''Started out shaky like yesterday, but great bunker shot on 2 kind of set me up,'' Kelly said. ''A close birdie on 3 and then I was kind of off to the races. … I feel like I left plenty of them out there. I hit a lot of good putts that didn't go, missed a few shots, but I had some good ideas going for tomorrow, looking forward to it.''

A victory would win Kelly the season championship he could also take it with a solo sixth-place finish if McCarron - tied for 25th at 4 under after a 69 - finishes in a three-way tie for 18th or worse.

McCarron would take the title regardless of place if Kelly finishes in a two-way tie for eighth or worse and Langer, Colin Montgomerie and Goosen do not win.

Bernhard Langer is still contention for his record sixth season title. he was third starting the week and needs to win the event and have McCarron finish in a two-way tie for fifth or worse and Kelly finish in a two-way tie for second or worse.

''You just never know in this game,'' Langer said. ''It's the type of course if you really get hot, you can shoot low, and if you're a little off, you can lose a couple. That's just how it is.''
