FREDRIK JACOBSON LEADS TRAVELERS CHAMPIONSHIP IN US

FROM THE GOLF.COM WEBSITE
CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) — Nineteen-year-old amateur Patrick Cantlay had trouble building on his record-setting round in the Travelers Championship.
A day after shooting a course-record 60, the lowest score ever by an amateur on the PGA Tour, the UCLA star had a 72 on Saturday, and found himself five strokes behind leader Fredrik Jacobson. The Swede had a 7-under 63 on Saturday, his third consecutive bogey-free round.
"I've been OK at keeping my composure my whole life, so I'm just drawing on past experiences and having a good time out there," Cantlay said. "I struggled today. I got off to kind of a slow start and really never got any momentum going."
Jacobson closed with a 30-foot birdie putt on No. 18 to cap his third straight bogey-free round. The Swede opened with rounds of 65 and 66 and the 63 left him at 16 under at TPC River Highlands.
Bryce Molder, who also opened with rounds of 65 and 66, shot a 64, and sits a stroke behind Jacobson.

Cantlay bogeyed the final two holes. An amateur hasn't won a PGA Tour event since Phil Mickelson in the 1991 Northern Telecom Open in Arizona.

The 36-year-old Jacobson has three European Tour victories, but is winless on the PGA Tour.

Molder also is looking for his first PGA Tour win.

At 194, Jacobson was a stroke off the tournament record for 54 holes.

"It obviously takes some good par putts every now and then to keep a round like that going," he said. "It's nothing in particular I've been focusing on, but it just turned out that way."

After two days of rain and drizzle, Saturday was mostly sunny. But Jacobson said the greens were still soft. That helped on 18, when he thought he had put too much pace on his birdie attempt.

"I was kind of hoping it was going to hit the hole and kind of lipped a little bit past it if anything," he said. "But I was certainly happy when it hit the hole."

Molder has made the cut in six of 17 tournaments this year, but a tie for sixth at Pebble Beach is his best finish so far this year. He had to play nine holes of his second round Saturday and finished with a 66 before starting the third round. His 210-yard second shot on the fourth hole came within a foot of the pin and got him going. He holed a 38-foot birdie putt on 17 that broke 6 feet from left.

"You're just trying to get it close, and what do you know, the hole gets in the way," he said.

Cantlay, the low amateur last week in the U.S. Open, had a one-shot lead after a birdie at 12. But he hit his drive right and into the water on the par-5 13th, a hole he eagled twice Friday. He found the water again on 17 and hit his second shot on 18 into a greenside bunker.

"I hit a couple of bad drives coming in, and it cost me," he said. "I could have made a couple more putts, as in every round, but I'm in a good spot, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow."

Cantlay has already made it into the Golf Hall of Fame - or at least his ball and scorecard have, along with a pin from Friday's record round.

James Driscoll shot his second consecutive 64 to move into third place at 13 under.

Defending champion Bubba Watson shot a 70 and fell 10 strokes behind Jacobson.

"I don't know if you've ever checked the record books, but no one has ever won every tournament," he said. "I'm not making the putts. I'm not hitting good iron shots when I need them."

Nate Smith had the shot of day, acing the par-3 fifth hole from 221 yards. Unfortunately for Smith, he followed that up with a bogey on the par-5 sixth hole, and finished the day 12 shots off the lead.

Jacobson is trying to become the first player since Lee Trevino in the 1974 Greater New Orleans Open to play 72 holes without a bogey. But he'd be happy just to get the win.

"I don't think I've played in the last group on a Sunday," he said. "I think I've been kind of within reasonable reach, but been looking forward to getting myself in position where I can get tested, you know, put myself in that position."

MARK FOSTER LEADS BY TWO IN BMW INTERNATIONAL OPEN

FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
England’s Mark Foster will take a two shot lead into the final round of the BMW International Open after firing a 66 in Munich.
The 35 year old from Worksop - also the home of World Number Two Lee Westwood - has won only once in 278 starts on The European Tour and that was eight years ago.
But he stood 14 under par and saw his advantage doubled when joint halfway leader George Coetzee finished his 70 with a bogey six.
That dropped the South African into a tie for second with compatriot Retief Goosen, England's Robert Coles and Spanish pair Pablo Larrazabal and back-to-form Sergio Garcia - up from 30th with a best-of-the-day 64.
As for Swede Henrik Stenson, who shared top spot overnight, he put two balls in the water on the long 11th and three-putted for a quadruple bogey nine before finishing with a hat-trick of birdies to be five behind.
Foster was three ahead at both last year's Open de Espaa and this season's Open de Andalucia presented by Turkish Airlines, but finished third and fourth respectively.
"I know I've got it in me - it flicks in and out," said the former English Amateur Champion. "I've done it enough times to know that anything can happen.
"I've not been playing so much so I can be mentally stronger. That's my plan for this year and I will see how it goes.
"That was the key today. I'm making the right decisions and if something goes wrong I'm reacting in the right way."
Garcia's charge gives him the chance not only to register his first victory for over two and a half years - he fell from second in the Official World Golf Ranking to outside the top 80 in that time - but also rescue a place in next month's Open Championship at Sandwich.
Joint seventh at last week's US Open, the 31 year old grabbed nine birdies after starting the day six behind and even led on his own for a while.
A top-four finish could give Garcia one of two Open places up for grabs off a mini-money list that has been running on The European Tour for the past month.
But there is hot competition for them. Foster could take one by coming second and Coles by winning.
"I knew for British Open purposes I needed to do something special," said Garcia, who a month ago pulled out of a qualifying event in America because of an infected fingernail.
"Last week was good - it was nice to be up there in a Major again.
"I didn't have a chance to win because Rory (McIlroy) was playing out of his mind, but it feels like the game is coming along and I think my putting is definitely improving."
Garcia, who made it into the US Open only through a qualifying play-off, has not missed a Major since the 1999 Open at Carnoustie.

Larrazabal also required first or second in The Open Championship battle two weeks after losing in near-darkness on the sixth hole of a qualifying play-off at Sunningdale - against Coetzee.
He led in Germany by two with three to play last year, but double-bogeyed the 16th and bogeyed the 17th on that occasion.
Coles, meanwhile, was seeking his first European Tour win in more than 300 events - four months after he was joint leader with a par five to come in Delhi and then ran up a bogey six.
Eighteen year old Matteo Manassero, meanwhile, might yet record his third European Tour victory. A 66 left him four shots back, but home favourite and World Number Three Martin Kaymer could manage only a 72 and was eight adrift.
