Bryant leads seniors by two in Oregon

Texan Brad Bryant holds a two-stroke advantage over the field going into the final round of the Jeld-Wen Tradition tournament at the Crosswater Golf Club in central Oregon.
Bryant shot a five-under 67 on Saturday to put him at 15 under after three rounds of the US Champions (Seniors) Tour major. He stayed at the top of the the leaderboard after shooting a career-best 10-under 62 in the opening round, matching a tournament record.
Mike Reid finished with a 66 and was two shots back at 13 under.
Bryant is bidding for his second major championship on the over-50s tour after winning the 2007 U.S. Senior Open.
Tom Watson rebounded after a struggling in the second round.
After an opening round 67, Watson had four bogeys and a double bogey on Friday for a 74.
On Saturday he shot a 69 with four birdies and a single bogey on the par-3 No. 17 hole at Crosswater.
Going into the final round of the fourth major of the Champions Tour, Watson was at 6-under. But with the leader Brad Bryant at 15 under, it should be difficult to make up ground.
``I'm just a little off with my putter,'' he said. ``I made some changes in my putting, but I haven't seen the results I wanted to. But I will. I'm confident.''
Watson won the Tradition in 2003.
