DUBLIN, Ireland, July 5 (UPI) -- Phillip Price of Wales shot a 5-under-par 67 Saturday to build a three-shot lead over a quintet of players at the European Open.
Price had seven birdies in the third round to reach 14-under 202, three strokes clear of Darren Clarke of Northern Ireland, Angel Cabrera of Argentina, Alastair Forsyth of Scotland, Zimbabwe's Mark McNulty and Jarmo Sandelin of Sweden.
The 36-year-old Price has won twice on the European Tour, both times in Portugal.
Price is best known for what he did at this course last year, defeating Phil Mickelson in a singles match at the Ryder Cup to help Europe to victory.
Price beat his playing partner, Clarke, by three strokes.
Cabrera birdied seven of his last 11 holes and had a 66. Sandelin holed a 30-foot eagle putt en route to a 67 while Forsyth carded a 69.
