Stewart Cink is in the lead at the US Senior Open, with a one-shot advantage over Padraig Harrington going into the final round. Cink shot a 64 in Saturday’s third round at Scioto Country Club in Ohio, tying for the tournament’s lowest round. He is now at 9-under 201.
Harrington, the defending champion, birdied four of the first five holes on the back nine but dropped a shot on the final hole to finish with a 66. Cink and Harrington will be in the final group for the second straight year, after being tied with Mark Hensby after the third round last year.
Cink is chasing a pair of milestones, aiming to become the first to win the first three senior majors and the fifth player to win the event after being runner-up the previous year. The final round is set to be affected by potential rain, with tee times moved up to avoid delays.
