Gareth right in firing line for £10,000 payday

Welshman Gareth Wright has an excellent chance of winning the £10,000 first prize in the PGA professionals' championship at Burnham and Berrow Golf Club.
The West Linton staff pro is in a triple tie for the lead going into the final round with Paul Hendricksen from Dinnaton, Devon, and Michael Watson from Wessex.
They are all on three-over-par 216 over the par-71 Somerset course.
Wright is getting better every round as his improving scores of 73, 72 and 71 indicate.
In his third round he birdied the first, long eighth and short 16th, gains that were cancelled out by bogeys at the fourth, seventh and 13th.
Wright is not the only Tartan Tour man in the running for a big payslip from this £78,000 tournament.
Graham Fox (Clydeway Golf), although tied seventh, is only two shots behind the leading trio with rounds of 73, 74 and 71. Bogeys at the 14th and 15th prevented him from making it a four-way tie for the pole position.
