Na leads Colonial by two

-

Kevin Na settled for a 1under 69 a day after going low at Colonial again, taking a two-shot lead Saturday in Fort Worth, Texas, over a group that included local favorite Jordan Spieth and 2003 U.S. Open champion Jim Furyk.

Na recovered from a double bogey at the par-5 11th that cost him the lead, steadying himself over the final seven holes to reach 9 under. His 62 in the second round was his third at least that low over a span of six rounds at Colonial.

Spieth and Furyk, winless since 2015, both shot 68 and were among the group at 7 under along with C.T. Pan, who was tied with Na before bogeys on the final two holes.

Pan settled for a 68 as well.

First-round leader Tony Finau (71) fell into the group at 7 under with a bogey on 18 after hitting his driver into the water.

Champions Tour: Defending champion Paul Broadhurst waited out two storm delays to shoot a bogey-free third round Saturday and open a twoshot lead over Retief Goosen at the Senior PGA Championsh­ip in Pittsford, New York.

The breaks in play didn’t affect the 53-yearold from England, who finished with a 3-under 67 and moved to 6-under 204 for the $3.25 million major at Oak Hill’s East Course. Broadhurst hasn’t bogeyed in 38 consecutiv­e holes.

He entered the day as the co-leader with Esteban Toledo, who tumbled into seventh at 1 over for the tournament after shooting 4 over 74.

The Madison duo of Jerry Kelly (72) and Steve Stricker (72) were well off the pace.

The third round began with hardly a breeze and temperatur­es in 60s. The day ended with a steady breeze and muggy conditions with temperatur­es reaching 80.

Storms also caused a more than two-hour delay midway through the opening round Thursday.

LPGA Tour: Bronte Law birdied the par-4 18th for a 4-under 67 and a share of the lead in the Pure Silk Championsh­ip in Williamsbu­rg, Virginia.

Nasa Hataoka matched Law at 13-under 200 at Kingsmill Resort, rebounding from a bogey on the par-4 14th with an eagle on the par-5 15th in a 65.

Jennifer Song, tied for the lead after each of the first two rounds, had a 68 to fall a shot back along with Brooke Henderson. Henderson had a 64.
