Greg Norman shot a bogey-free six-under-par 64 on Saturday to grab the lead by a stroke heading into the last round of the Senior British Open at Sunningdale, England.
Norman was at 10-under 200, a stroke ahead of overnight leader Fred Funk (72) and Loren Roberts (67).
Tom Watson's hopes of improving on his runner-up spot in the British Open last week took a hit after a 70 that left him six shots behind Norman.
"I put the ball in play and putted decently," Norman said. "I got on the tee and could see the shots I wanted to play and just went and played them. I really wasn't worried about anything else."
Mark Calcavecchia birdied nine holes in a row in the Canadian Open to break the PGA Tour record. In perfect morning scoring conditions at rain-softened Glen Abbey in Oakville, Calcavecchia opened the delayed second round with two pars, then reeled off the nine straight birdies. His nine birdie putts were from 15 feet or closer. Calcavecchia shot a seven-under 65 to finish two rounds at eight under. He was five strokes behind leader Jason Dufner entering the third round, postponed until today after heavy afternoon rain. . . . Becky Brewerton of Wales shot a three-under 69 to grab a share of the Evian Masters lead for the third consecutive round at Evian-les-Bains, France. Brewerton enters today's final round tied with Sophie Gustafson of Sweden -- who had a five-under 67 -- and In-Kyung Kim of South Korea at 12-under 204.
