Allenby pulls away



The Associated Press

        LEMONT, Ill. — Robert Allenby followed an eagle on the par-5 15th with a birdie, shooting a 7-under 65 and taking a two-stroke lead in the third round of the Western Open.

        Neal Lancaster, who hasn't won since 1994, was at 203 after a 5-under 67. Jerry Kelly and Bob Estes were at 204, and Davis Love III and second-round leader John Cook were another stroke back.

        At one point in the round, about 20 players were within four strokes of the lead.

       Canada Senior Open

        LASALLE, Ontario — Walter Morgan tied the Senior PGA Tour record with an 11-under 60 — just missing birdie putts on the final two holes — and moved within two shots of co-leaders Tom Jenkins and Morris Hatalsky after two rounds of the Canada Senior Open.

        Morgan, 61, had 12 birdies in bettering the Essex Golf and Country Club record of 63 tied by Jenkins in Friday's opening round.

        He matched Isao Oaki's senior tour record of 10-under 60 in the second round of the 1997 Emerald Coast Classic.

        Morgan left an 8-foot birdie putt on the lip at No. 17 and then barely missed a 13-footer for birdie on the final hole.

        Three players have shot a 59 on the PGA Tour — Al Geiberger, Chip Beck and David Duval — while Annika Sorenstam is the lone player to do it on the LPGA Tour.

        Jenkins and Hatalsky were both at 11-under 131, one stroke in front of Bruce Lietzke, who had a 62 Saturday, and two in front of Morgan and Bruce Summerhays, who had a second-round 65.

       European Open

        STRAFFAN, Ireland — Michael Campbell birdied the last hole to take a one-stroke lead over Padraig Harrington and Paul Lawrie after three rounds of the European Open.

        Campbell birdied the par-5 18th to give him a 2-under 70 and 7-under 209.

        Lawrie and Harrington both carded 69s. Harrington made an eagle at 18 after a 203-yard 7-iron to 6 feet from the pin.
