At Senior, Kelly loses lead, then gets it back
the kid gave the ball back. Petrovic took a drop and had to pitch out from behind the trees en route to another bogey.
“Next time, kick it that way,” he joked with the kid, pointing toward the fairway, and trying to lighten the mood.
“I didn’t want to make him feel like it was OK to do that, but it’s not the end of the world, either,” Petrovic said. “Only a major. No big deal. Same thing I said to my caddie after the round.”
Petrovic also bogeyed No. 18 and finished with a 71, tied with Kirk Triplett (68) two shots out of the lead.
Another shot back are Brandt Jobe (66), Paul Goydos (70) and Miguel Angel Jimenez (73), who came into the round one shot behind Kelly but didn’t sink a putt longer than 5 feet. His only birdie came on a chipin from the side of the 15th green.
“It’s been a nightmare on the greens,” Jimenez said. “I think I need to have a tall glass of wine and relax.” So Yeon Ryu takes 3-stroke lead in KPMG Women’s PGA: So Yeon Ryu broke away on the closing holes at Kemper Lakes to take a three-stroke lead in Kildeer, Ill.
The 28-year-old South Korean star birdied the 14th and 15th holes to jump ahead of Canadian Brooke Henderson and finished with a birdie on 18. She shot a 5-under 67 on another scorching afternoon to get to 11-under 205 and move a step closer to her third major victory.
Henderson was second. She bogeyed Nos. 14 and 16 in a 70.
South Korea’s Sung Hyun Park was 7 under after a 71, and American Angel Yin had a 68 to get to 6 under. Ancer, Molinari share lead at National as Tiger stalls: Abraham Ancer and Francesco Molinari each handled the scorching heat and shared the lead at the Quicken Loans National in Potomac, Md.
Ancer matched the best round of the week with an 8-under 62 on the TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm, giving the 27-year-old Mexican his best shot at his first PGA Tour victory. Molinari birdied his last two holes for a 65 and joined him at 13-under 197.
Tiger Woods looked as though he would be right there with them. Woods made four straight birdies, finished the front nine with seven straight one-putt greens and was in range to go even lower until he was slowed by missed putts and one bad tee shot. He ended up with a 68. That left Woods in a tie for 10th, six shots back.
