ST. ANDREWS, Scotland, Sept. 27 (UPI) -- Lee Westwood fired a course record 10-under-par 62 Saturday at Kingsbarns to take a one-stroke lead after the third round of the Dunhill Links championship.

Westwood had the second-lowest round of his European Tour career and is 16-under for the tournament.

The 30-year-old from Worksop highlighted the day with his first-ever double eagle. From 218 yards at the 558-yard ninth hole on the Scottish links, Westwood hit a four-iron that rolled up the tier in the green and into the hole.

World No. 2 Ernie Els was only one behind as well with two to play, but bogeyed the 17th and double-bogeyed the last to fall four back. It left New Zealander Michael Campbell in fourth place.
