American Gene Sauers Soars To Three-shot Senior Open Lead
Biotechnology News
(Reuters) - Diminutive Gene Sauers shrugged off a fever to outplay his better-known rivals and vault to a three-stroke lead after the third round at the U.S. Senior Open in steamy Edmond, Oklahoma on Saturday. Three years after surviving a mysterious health scare that could have been fatal, Sauers is on the verge of arguably the biggest victory of his career after carding a three-under-par 68 in oppressive heat at Oak Tree National. The American was at seven-under 206, while German Bernhard Langer missed several short putts down the stretch to card 71 and fall into a tie for second place with American Scott Dunlap (72) at four-under. Halfway leader Colin Montgomerie could not sustain his hot start and struggled to a 74, falling four strokes off the pace.
