Quigley tied for U.S. Bank lead
MILWAUKEE Brett Quigley carded a 6-under 64 Saturday and moved into a tie for the lead with Carlos Franco and Patrick Sheehan after three rounds of the U.S. Bank Championship.
Quigley had the day's best round at the par-70 Brown Deer Park and moved to 10-under 200. Franco shot a 69 and Sheehan posted a third-round 67 in the tournament formerly known as the Greater Milwaukee Open.
Defending champion Kenny Perry (65) is one shot back after birdies on the final four holes, and Jason Dufner (68) and Scott Verplank (67) are two shots behind the leaders.
There are 22 golfers within five shots of the lead, and another five are six shots back.
Franco, the second-round leader, would have had the 54-hole lead to himself had he not bogeyed the 18th hole, missing a 35-foot putt to save par.
Franco, who saved par on 17 by making a 21-foot putt after chipping backward out of thick rough to set up his iron shot onto the green, is trying to become the seventh-two time winner in Milwaukee. His other PGA Tour wins came at the COMPAQ Classic of New Orleans in 1999 and 2000.
Evian Masters
EVIAN, France Wendy Doolan shot a 7-under 65 in the final round of the Evian Masters to beat top-ranked Annika Sorenstam by a stroke and collect the biggest check of her career.
Doolan finished at 18-under 270 to earn the $375,000 winner's check for the third title of her nine-year career.
She surged to the lead with a stretch of three birdies and two eagles on Nos. 6-10. Doolan went from six strokes behind Sorenstam with 12 holes to play, to three strokes ahead with three to play.
Sorenstam, who entered the day with a three-stroke lead, played the first 15 holes in 2 over. She then birdied the last three holes. At the 18th, a putt for eagle stopped 6 inches from the hole, leaving her with a round of five birdies and four bogeys in a 71 for a 271 total. Lorena Ochoa was another shot back in third after a final-round 68.
Karen Stupples shot a 70 to finish fourth at 273 with Laura Davies (71) fifth at 278. U.S. Women's Open champ Meg Mallon had a 67 and finished tied for sixth at 279.
Michelle Wie shot a 69 and tied for 33rd at 287.
Senior British Open
PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland Peter Oakley shot a 1-over 73 and took a one-stroke lead after the third round of the Senior British Open.
Oakley, a club pro from Delaware who had to qualify for the championship, is at 2-under 214 at the wind-swept Royal Portrush course. He leads Don Pooley and Mark McNulty by one stroke, with Tom Kite (74) and Mark James (74) two strokes behind.
Oakley's 4-under 68 on Friday gave him a share of the lead, and when Pooley bogeyed the 18th on Saturday, he led the field.
Oakley, who had three birdies but four bogeys, managed to par the last four holes to stay near the top of the leaderboard as the wind blew across the Dunluce links and drenched the field with heavy showers. Only two players finished the round under par and just one finished at even par.
Pooley, who shared the lead for each of the first two rounds, led by two strokes after two birdies on the front nine, but made bogey on three of the last four holes for 74 and 1-under 215.
McNulty, who also shared the halfway lead, rolled in a 35-foot putt for birdie at 18 for a 74.
Defending champion Tom Watson also carded a 2-over 74 and is nine shots off the lead.
US Junior Amateur
SAN FRANCISCO Sihwan Kim, a 15-year-old Korean-born golfer from Fullerton became the second-youngest winner of the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship, defeating 14-year-old David Chung 1-up.
Kim, who moved to the United States from Seoul in 2000, is 22 days older than Tiger Woods when he won the 1991 Junior Amateur.
Kim, who eliminated defending champion Brian Harman on Friday, took the lead for good with a winning par on the sixth hole. Chung, from Fayetteville, N.C., was the youngest golfer in the field.
Girls Junior Amateur
FORT WORTH, Texas Medalist Julieta Granada made a short par putt on the second playoff hole to defeat Jane Park and win the U.S. Girls Junior Amateur.
It was the first USGA national title for the 17-year-old from Paraguay.
The loss was the second straight disappointment for Park. The 17-year-old from Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., lost in the finals of the U.S. Women's Amateur last year.
The playoff was the first in the final since 1986.
