TURNBERRY, Scotland, July 29 (UPI) -- Loren Roberts has a four-shot advantage after three rounds of the Senior British Open Golf Tournament in Turnberry, Scotland.

In bad weather Saturday, Roberts shot 1-under 69 to move to 11-under 199.

"We've got 18 holes to go, so I don't really want to think about it really," Roberts said. "I've had a nice career on the tour, but to win this championship, I just think it would be a feather in my cap. I could feel like I've been fulfilled."

Eduardo Romero (73) is in second place at 7-under 203, Tim Simpson (72) is third at 5-under 205, and four players are tied for fourth at 2-under 208.

"I am second, four behind, but if the weather continues like this (Sunday), then four shots is nothing," said Romero. "A 73 is a good score today. Loren played really good and he is one of the best putters in the world."
