The sky cleared just in time for Jeff Overton.

Teeing off on what became a bright late afternoon after a cold, soggy morning, Overton shot a 5-under 67 on Thursday to take the first-round lead at the Turning Stone Resort Championship, the second stop on the PGA TOUR's Fall Series.

Overton, who started at the 10th hole, made three birdies on the front side to take a one-shot lead over Michael Allen and Steve Allan.

Davis Love III celebrated a double anniversary Thursday, one he didn't want, and one he did.

The opening round of the Turning Stone Resort Championship marked the first anniversary of surgery to repair tore ligaments in Love's left ankle sustained when he stepped into a hole playing a casual round of golf.

Tag Ridings stood over his ball at the final hole and gently tapped a short uphill putt for par. When he pulled it and his ball stopped just shy of the cup, he found himself tied for the lead in the Turning Stone Championship.

Seeking his first PGA TOUR win, Ridings wasn't dismayed as he pondered playing the final round in a twosome with Charles Howell III.

"I putted really well, especially the first two rounds," Ridings said Saturday after shooting a 1-under 71 to match Howell (69) at 8 under. "Today, I made a couple that kept me hanging in there."

Ridings has missed 12 cuts this year, including six in a row, and entered Turning Stone winless in 130 PGA TOUR starts.

"I've been in position a lot out here and haven't gotten it done," Ridings said. "But a lot of times I have gotten it done on other tours, so it's not quite an alien experience."

Jeff Overton (73), who led both the first and second rounds by one shot, was tied for third at 7 under with Brian Davis (69), Jason Day (71) and Kyle Thompson (69).

When the final round of the Turning Stone Resort Championship began, six players near the top of the leaderboard had a chance at that elusive first PGA TOUR victory. Rookie Dustin Johnson was the last man standing.

The long-hitting Johnson birdied the final two holes Sunday, sinking an 8-foot putt on the final hole to beat Australian Robert Allenby by one shot.

"I started off the year really well and then I don't really know what happened," said the 24-year-old Johnson, who had two top-10s in his first four starts and then missed nine cuts and withdrew from two other events. "Me and my coach sat down about a month ago and set some goals. I practiced hard and tried to get my game back."

It's back.
