Toms pads his lead to seven with a 6-under 65
The Associated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - David Toms, who started the third round with a one-stroke lead over Vaughn Taylor, extended his advantage to seven strokes with a 6-under 65 Saturday, giving the defending champion control of the St. Jude Classic.
It was Toms' 11th straight score in the 60s at TPC at Southwind, and his three-round 195 total is just two strokes off the 20 under he posted in winning last year.
John Daly, who slipped from a tie for fourth to a tie for 19th with a 72, said the winds were tricky enough to mess with a couple of his shots.
SENIOR PGA: Hale Irwin reeled off four straight birdies, surging to a one-shot lead after two rounds at the flood-delayed at Valhalla in Louisville. Irwin shot a 69 and was at 6-under 136, one stroke ahead of John Harris and Wayne Levi. Gil Morgan and Jay Haas were at 4 under. The third round of the Senior PGA Championship was suspended because of darkness Saturday night and will be continued this morning.
LPGA TOUR: Playing in the final twosome with Annika Sorenstam, Michelle Estill matched the Swedish star stroke for stroke and calmly rolled in a 4-foot birdie putt at the 18th hole to gain a one-shot lead over Sorenstam after three rounds at the Corning (N.Y.) Classic.
"Wow!" It's just exciting to be here," said Estill, who finished at 15-under 201 and will begin the final day of a tournament in first place for the first time since she joined the LPGA Tour in 1991.
EUROPEAN PGA TOUR: Angel Cabrera shot a 4-under 68 for a one-stroke lead over Justin Rose and three others after three rounds of the Volvo PGA Championship in Virginia Water, England. Cabrera was at 12-under 204.
Jesper Parnevik rejoined the European Tour, reviving his hopes of playing in the Ryder Cup. The Swede withdrew his membership last month, saying he couldn't play in the 11 tour events needed to be eligible. He's reconsidered.
