Furyk leads at Tour Champ.

Jim Furyk, the only American on the Ryder Cup team without a win this year, put himself in position Friday to join them. Furyk made seven birdies through 10 holes at East Lake — including seven 3s to start the round — until he missed a few greens on the back nine. He wound up with a 6-under 64, giving him a one-shot lead over Justin Rose going into the weekend at the Tour Championship.
