Bruce Fleisher made the fourth hole-in-one of his Champions Tour career when he aced No. 3 with a 5-iron from 177 yards. It was also the first one in tournament history. In addition to four on the Champions Tour, Fleisher also had one on the PGA TOUR. It was also the second hole-in-one on the Champions Tour this year. Jose Maria Canizares had the other at the Toshiba Classic in March.

• With a one-stroke advantage over Craig Stadler and David Edwards, this marks the first time Bruce Fleisher has held sole possession of the lead going into the last round since the 2004 Greater Hickory Classic at Rock Barn where he finished second to Doug Tewell.

• Fleisher is also bidding for his first victory since winning the 2004 Bruno’s Memorial Classic on May 2nd.

• In three-round events on the Champions Tour, Bruce Fleisher has been one of the best when leading or tied for the lead heading into the final round. He has been in that position 16 times and won a total of 12 times.

• The winner of the 2006 FedEx Kinko’s Classic will earn 240 points in the year-long Charles Schwab Cup race. Loren Roberts, who is not competing in this event, leads with 935 points, followed by Jay Haas (561) and Morris Hatalsky (444). Hale Irwin (403) and Jerry Pate (380) round out the top five. The winner will also get a check for $240,000.

• Should David Edwards win on Sunday, he would become the 12th player to win his Champions Tour debut. The last to do so was Mark McNulty at the 2004 Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am.

• A win by Edwards would also make him the third youngest winner in Champions Tour history at age 50 years, 12 days. Bobby Wadkins (50 years, 10 days) and Gil Morgan (50 years, 11 days) rank 1-2 in that category.

• In its brief history, the FedEx Kinko’s Classic has had two of its three champions come from off the pace on Sunday to win. The lone exception was last year when Jim Thorpe was tied with Wayne Levi after 36 holes. In 2004, Larry Nelson trailed by three strokes heading into Sunday’s final round and eventually held off Bruce Lietzke by one. Three years ago in the inaugural FedEx Kinko’s Classic, Hale Irwin trailed by one stroke entering the final round and, despite carding a final-round 73, managed to beat Tom Watson in a playoff.

• Craig Stadler and his son, Kevin, have an opportunity to repeat something they did back in 2004 when the pair were victorious on the same day. Stadler won the Bank of America Championship near Boston, while his son won the Lake Erie Charity Classic in New York. Going into Sunday’s final round, the Stadlers are each tied for second. Kevin is competing at the BMW Charity Pro-Am at the Cliffs in South Carolina.

• Overall, the field averaged 74.423, an increase from the Friday average of 73.487. The Saturday scoring average was the highest second round average on the Champions Tour this year. The overall average is 73.955. If it remains there, it would be the highest scoring average this year for an event.

• The most difficult hole on Saturday was No. 15 and only Mark James made a birdie. However, No. 9 remains the most difficult after 36 holes with an average score of 4.545 (+.545).

• Hole No. 15 was not the only difficult one to birdie on Saturday. No. 14 yielded just two birdies -- John Harris and Peter Jacobsen.
