Tringale fires a 66, leads by one stroke
Cameron Tringale made a short par putt on the treacherous par-five 18th hole at the 3M Open for a five-under 66 and a onestroke lead Saturday over Gary Woodland and Maverick McNealy.
Tringale, who starred at Mission Viejo High, tied for third last year at the TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minn. He eagled the par-five 12th and had three birdies in a bogey-free round. Winless on the PGA Tour, the 33-yearold topped the crowded leaderboard at 12-under 201.
Woodland overcame a double bogey on No. 1 with birdies on five of his next six holes in a 67. McNealy had a bogey-free 68. Pat Perez shot a 66 to join an eight-way tie for fourth, two shots off the lead.
Champions
Stephen Dodd equaled the lowest round in the history of the Senior British Open by shooting an eightunder 62 to take a two-stroke lead after three rounds.
“I’ve played so little competitive golf over the last 18 months,” Dodd said. “I’ve played one event, so I’m not really sure what will happen. With a little luck, you never know.”
Dodd made nine birdies in a round that also tied Sunningdale’s Old Course record that was set by Nick Faldo at the 1986 European Open and then tied by Shane Lowry in British Open qualifying in 2010.
Jerry Kelly was two shots back after carding a 68 and Friday leader Darren Clarke (70) slipped three strokes off the lead in the final senior major championship of the year. Defending champion Bernhard Langer (70) was four shots off the pace with Miguel Angel Jimenez (67) and Paul Broadhurst (69). Jimenez was the winner in 2018, and Broadhurst won two years before that.
LPGA
The day after making golfing history in Evian-lesBains, France, Jeongeun Lee6 extended her Evian Championship lead to five strokes after a three-underpar 68 in the third round.
She’s at 18 under overall and the nearest challenger is teenage American Yealimi Noh at 13 under after carding a four-under 67. The 2015 champion Lydia Ko of New Zealand posted a 68 and was one shot behind the 19-yearold Noh.
Junior Amateur
Nicholas Dunlap, 17, won the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship at the Country Club in Pinehurst, N.C., beating Cohen Trolio, 18, 3 and 2 in the 36-hole final. Dunlap won three straight holes to take control and finished off Trolio with a par win on the par-three 34th.
