Round 3 is underway at Walton Heath in England but Rod Spittle, Lee Rinker and Mark Calcavecchia won't tee off until 1500hrs (9am est) because they are tied for the lead at this Senior Open Championship.
Calc is getting all the ink because he is bidding to become only the 4th player to win both the Open and the Senior Open.
However Spittle made it a three-way tie at the top late in the day after matching Rinker’s round of 67 courtesy of seven birdies.
He said: “It’s very exciting. The challenge now is to slow down and breathe, try not to fall down, and continue to do the things I’ve done these last couple of days. I’ve driven it really well, and kept it out of the long stuff. If you can drive it on the fairways, you have a chance to score. So that will be my game plan for the next two days.”
