RENO, Nev., Aug. 4 (UPI) -- Steve Flesch shot his second straight 3-under 69 Saturday, widening his lead to five strokes after three rounds of the Reno-Tahoe Open.

Flesch, a 40-year-old, two-time winner on the PGA Tour, completed 54 holes at 15-under 201. He holds a third-round lead for the seventh time in his career, but he has gone on to win just one of the previous six events.

His five-stroke lead is the largest 54-hole advantage of the year on the PGA Tour.

John Merrick (68) moved into a tie for second place at 10-under 206 with Steve Allan (69) and Todd Fischer (69).

Charles Warren dropped from second place to fifth with a 73-207. Kevin Stadler, Jose Coceres and Steve Elkington are tied for sixth at 208.
