SEATTLE, July 31 (UPI) -- Fred Couples charged up the leaderboard with a 5-under-par 65 Saturday, catching Bernhard Langer after three rounds of the U.S. Senior Open.
Couples was the only player to avoid a bogey at the Sahalee Country Club in his home town of Seattle. He rode the fine performance to forge a first-place tie with second-round leader Langer (68) at 5-under 205.
Langer, coming off a win last week at the Senior British Open, barely hung onto a share of the lead by birdying the 18th hole. He is looking to become the first golfer since Tom Watson in 2003 to win back-to-back majors on the Champions Tour.
Chien Soon Lu registered a 2-under 68 and Tom Kite carded a 1-under 69 Saturday to claim third place at even-par 210.
Peter Senior (68) joined John Cook (72), Tommy Armour III (72) and Michael Allen (71) in a tie for fourth at 1-over 211.
