Henley surges to double his lead at Mayakoba to 6 shots

-

PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico — Russell Henley rolled in a 25-foot birdie putt on his first hole and never really let up Saturday until he had a 6-under 65 and doubled the size of his lead to six shots in the World Wide Technology at Mayakoba.

This is the sixth time Henley has had at least a share of the 54-hole lead on the PGA Tour, and while he has converted only one of them into a victory he has never had a lead like this.

Will Gordon bogeyed the 18th hole for a 68 to fall even farther back, tied with Patton Kizzire, who had a 67.

Ueda takes Toto lead: Momoko Ueda of Japan shot a 4-under 68 to take a one-stoke lead after three rounds of the Toto Classic. Ueda also held a one-shot lead after the second round.

Former Ryder Cup captain dies at 93: Dow Finsterwal­d became a footnote in history as the first player to win the PGA Championsh­ip in stroke play and the last U.S. captain of a Ryder Cup before continenta­l Europe joined.

Langer closes in on win: The ageless Bernhard Langer beat his age by two shots with a 9under 63, giving him a one-shot lead over Paul Goydos in the TimberTech Championsh­ip and a chance to move closer to the PGA Tour Champions wins record.
