Day won’t roll over

JASON Day insists the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational is still wide open, predicting a volatile final round is going to feel like a major championship.

Day battled an errorriddled third round at Ohio’s Firestone Country Club and, despite a bogey at the last, the former world No.1 carded a 69 to finish at 10-under — four shots off the pace.

Justin Thomas fired a 67 and was in the driver’s seat at 14-under. The world No.3 had 2014 WGC-Bridgestone winner Rory McIlroy (67) and Ian Poulter (70) snapping at his heels three shots back.

Day refused to concede the elite 71-man event to prolific winner Thomas.

“[Sunday] is a different story,” a defiant Day said.

“The course is going to be tougher and totally different to the previous three rounds and it’s going to feel like a major.” FRUSTRATING errors pushed Australia’s Minjee Lee three strokes behind leader Pornanong Phatlum going into the final round of the Women’s British Open.

Lee shot four birdies but also hit a trio of bogeys to finish the third round with a 71 at Royal Lytham & St Annes in Lancashire yesterday. If not for those errors, Lee would be level with Thailand’s Phatlum who carded a three-under 69 despite bogeying the 12th.

Phatlum, who has never won a major in nearly 10 years on the LPGA Tour, headed into the final round at 13under 203. Lee remained in contention at 10-under but she was vying with a strong and congested leaderboard.

Briton Georgia Hall was second overall on 12-under after shooting a 69 in the third round and former women’s world No.1 Ryu So-yeon of South Korea was 11-under.
