Lawrie eagled the 18th to hit a 66 and be one stroke ahead of 2010 British Open winner Louis Oosthuizien of South Africa (66).
Top-ranked Luke Donald is fourth at 206 after shooting a 66. The Englishman is trying to become the first golfer to win the American and European money titles. Having won the American title, he must beat Rory McIlory in the Race to Dubai to wrap up the double.
