ALOHA, Ore. (AP) _ Bobby Wadkins and Lonnie Nielsen shared a one-stroke lead going into Sunday's final round of The Tradition, the season's final major on the Champions Tour.

Wadkins shot a 71 Saturday for an 11-under 205 after the first three rounds on the par-72, 7,150-yard course at the Reserve Vineyards and Golf Club west of Portland.

Wadkins missed a six-foot par putt on the 18th to drop a stroke, and Nielsen made a five-foot par putt to finish with a 68 and grab a share of the lead.

Defending champion Loren Roberts had a 68, and will go into the final round at 10 under. Tom Jenkins and Tom Kite each had 70s and were three strokes off the lead.

Wadkins has won twice on the Champions Tour this season, including the Senior Players Championship. Nielsen never has won on either the Champions or PGA tour.

Wadkins, who had a three-stroke lead to start the day, was challenged by Jenkins, who made a 10-foot birdie putt on the par-5 15th to pull into a share of the lead. But Jenkins bogeyed the final two holes.

Fuzzy Zoeller had the shot of the day, an eagle from 188 yards out on the par-4 No. 13. Jay Haas finished his round with four birdies and an eagle for a 66 _ putting him at 5-under overall.

After his round, Roberts _ nicknamed ``The Boss of the Moss'' _ was asked to sign a baby's T-shirt. He laughed that it was the first time he'd been asked to sign a baby.

``I like my position,'' Roberts said. ``It doesn't really matter whether I'm in the last group or the second-to-last group.''

Roberts won the Senior British Open last month at Turnberry for his fourth victory of the year. He has five wins in 21 career senior starts _ including last year's Tradition title when he topped Dana Quigley with a bogey on the second hole of a playoff.

Last week, Kite won in Seattle for his ninth Champions Tour victory, beating Keith Fergus with a birdie on the first hole of a playoff.

Crowds were meagre Saturday in Aloha, where temperatures were in the low 90s. Next year, the tournament is moving to Crosswater Golf Club in Sunriver, an up-and-coming central Oregon resort town, where it is hoped it will attract bigger crowds.

Crosswater, a 7,683-yard course designed by Bob Cupp, was the site of this year's NCAA Division I men's golf championship.

``I think people there will be in awe of both the scenery and the complexity of the golf course,'' said Henry Hewitt, chairman of the Jeld-Wen Tradition Foundation that runs the tournament.
