Funk leads US Senior Open by one from

Greg Norman and Joey Sindelar

FROM THE AOL GOLF NEWS SERVICE
Fred Funk will take a one-shot lead over Greg Norman and Joey Sindelar into the final round of the US Senior Open at Crooked Stick in Carmel, Indiana on Sunday.
American Funk and Norman of Australia both shot four-under-par 68s to overtake halfway leader Tim Jackson, the amateur and former US Walker Cup player, who shot a 73 on a day when the lead often changed hands.
Jackson had started the day at 11 under par, one stroke clear of second-placed Sindelar, two ahead of Funk and three shots in front of Norman, yet despite carding birdies at the fifth and seventh, the amateur's round came undone with bogeys at the eighth, 10th and 12th holes.
Funk had five birdies and one bogey to his name before he managed to break free of Norman at the par-four 16th, the American rolling in a 20-foot birdie putt while Norman registered his only bogey of the day to fall to 12 under.
Both men parred the final two holes to leave Funk at 13 under, with Norman, whose 68 also included an eagle at the par-five 15th and three birdies, will start with the leader in the final group at 12 under.
