Tommy Armour III leads by five shots
at Pebble Beach Invitational

Title-holder Tommy Armour III birdied the final two holes, holing a 30-footer on the 18th, to take a five-stroke lead from Rich Beem in the Callaway Golf Pebble Beach Invitational on Saturday.
The 49-year-old Armour, a two-time winner on the US PGA tour and a descendant of the "Silver Scot," Tommy Armour, shot a seven-under 65 at Pebble Beach to post a 14-under-par 54-hole total of 202. He had one eagle, six birdies and a bogey on his third-round scorecard.
"Everything was working today," said Armour, who finished 62nd this season on the money list. Beem, the 2002 US PGA Championship winner, shot a 68, also at Pebble Beach. He also had an eagle, but four birdies and two bogeys.
The 37th annual tournament features players from the four major tours as well as mini tour players, club pros and amateurs competing on teams. Champions Tour and LPGA Tour entrants receive distance advantages on tee shots.
Former U.S. Open winner Scott Simpson of the US Champions (Seniors) Tour had a 66 at Del Monte. He was eight under par along with Bryce Molder, the Nationwide Tour player who had a 69 at Spyglass Hill.
Armour, who ended a four-year winless streak with his Callaway victory in 2007, last won on the US PGA Tour at the Valero Texas Open in 2003 when he set the tour tournament record of 34-under par.
"There's a lot of golf left and Pebble Beach is a tough golf course," Armour said. "You never know what the weather can bring tomorrow."
Vicky Hurst, who recently qualified for the U.S. LPGA Tour, shot a 72 at Pebble Beach for a 1-under total.
