CHICAGO, July 20 (UPI) -- Bob Gilder finished his round with seven straight 3's Saturday, setting a course-record with a 9-under 63 that gave him a one-shot lead going into the final round of the SBC Senior Open.
Gilder's lowest score on the elder circuit set the mark for the Port course at Harborside International. After making three birdies on the front nine, he went birdie, par, birdie, par, birdie, birdie, eagle coming in.
The fantastic finish moved Gilder to 11-under 133, one shot better than Bobby Wadkins and three in front of John Mahaffey and Dick Mast.
"I figured something out on the practice tee and the momentum just built as the round went along," Gilder said. "I knocked the flag down on two of the last three holes. Everything fell into place."
