(Reuters) - World number one Dustin Johnson and Japan's Hideki Matsuyama will share a two-stroke lead going into the final round of the BMW Championship on Sunday after shooting one-under-par 69s on Saturday. The Olympia Fields Country Club, where 69 players are battling it out for 30 spots in next week's Tour Championship, continued to torment the world's best golfers and the leading pair were alone in having tournament totals under par. Johnson, who will extend his lead at the top of the FedExCup standings if he can snare a third BMW Championship title on Sunday, mixed three birdies with two bogeys. Matsuyama made the perfect start with an eagle at the par-five first but two birdies against three bogeys over the rest of the round deprived him of the outright lead. Tiger Woods sits in a share of 55th heading into the final round after a 72 on Saturday.
