Rollins holds firm to lead by four at Reno

Martin Laird's 67 lifts him up joint

fourth place in Reno-Tahoe Open

Scot Martin Laird had a third-round 67 to share fourth place on 11-under-par 205 after three rounds of the US PGA Tour event, the Reno-Tahoe Open.
Overnight leader John Rollins doubled his lead to four strokes after he shot a five-under 67 to outpace fellow American Ryan Palmer.
Rollins, who fired a course record-equalling 62 on Friday, overcame an up-and-down front nine to record three birdies and an eagle on the 11th to complete the third round at 17-under 199.
"I told my caddie going down the 10th fairway, we just needed to settle down and kind of right the ship and just try to get a good back nine and we'd be in position," said Rollins.
"Sure enough we go out and birdie 10, eagle 11 and then make a great putt on 13 for birdie and then birdied 18 to finish there."
The two-time tour winner had birdies on two of his first four holes but back-to-back bogies on 7 and 8 left him at even par at the turn.
Palmer, who started the day tied for sixth, moved into contention with a 66 for a 203 total at the par-72 Montreux Golf and Country Club in Reno.
American Joe Ogilvie was another stroke back at 204 after he and Glasgow's Martin Laird each fired 66. Laird held fourth at 205.
