Tiger Woods tosses his putter after he finished the second hole in the third round of the Deutsche Bank Championship on Sunday. Woods shot a 1-over 72.

The loudest cheers as the sun dipped behind the trees were for Andrade, who grew up in Rhode Island and, like Brad Faxon, considers this his hometown tournament. Andrade nearly holed a bunker shot on the 18th hole, then rolled in a 4-foot birdie to join the fray.

“I’m going to have a blast,” he said. “I haven’t been in that position in a long time.”

Andrade was inspired by watching Faxon win last week in Hartford before a New England crowd for his first victory in four years. Maybe he’s next.

Or maybe Faxon can complete the New England sweep.

Faxon won the Buick Championship after making the cut on the number. He narrowly made the cut Saturday, then shot 66 in the third round and suddenly is only four shots out of the lead.

The crowd lost some of its energy as Woods continued to tumble out of contention, although now it has a potluck of players who can seize control at any minute.

Browne and Jeff Brehaut were the 36-hole leaders, and both struggled early. Only Browne recovered, making good birdie putts on the 12th and 14th and staying out of trouble the rest of the way.

Robert Allenby also had a share of the lead with birdies on his first two holes, but he began to drop shots and fell off the pace. He birdied the last hole for a 71, but was still only two shots behind.

The biggest surprise might have been Bohn, who won the B.C. Open earlier this year.

He had only one par on the back nine — scrambling on the 14th hole. Bohn figures the energy bars he has been eating at the turn gave him a short burst before he runs out of gas. So he packed a sandwich (crunchy peanut butter, a little grape jelly) and took off. He hit an 8-iron into 7 feet on the 15th, a 5-iron that rolled 7 feet past the hole on the 16th, a sand wedge to 5 feet on the next hole, and two-putted from 18 feet on the 18th.

Bohn is known to get hot. He once shot 58 on the Canadian tour.

“I hope I can do it tomorrow, because I think I’ll be right there if I can,” Bohn said.

Chances are, he’ll have plenty of company. Divots: Tiger Woods and Matt Kuchar played together for the first time, linked by winning four consecutive U.S. Amateur titles between them. Woods won three straight, then Kuchar won in 1997. “I think he did most of the work,” Kuchar said. “But it’s nice to be mentioned in that company.” ... Deutsche Bank Americas CEO Seth Waugh said the tournament would donate a portion of the proceeds to Katrina relief funds, and the company will donate at least $1 million to relief efforts. ... Olin Browne missed the cut last week in Hartford, but it gave him time to spend the weekend at Cape Cod with his family. His mother is from Providence, and Browne used to spend his summers on Cape Cod. He played nine holes with his grandmother, Betsy Emmett. Why only nine holes? “She’s 94,” Browne said.
