DEARBORN, Mich., July 9 (UPI) -- Hale Irwin turned in his third straight 4-under 68 Saturday to take a one-stroke lead after the third-round of the Senior Players Championship.
Second-round leader Dana Quigley birdied his final two holes to shoot a 72 in the third round. He is tied for second place with Tom McKnight (70) and Gil Morgan (67) at 11-under 205.
Don Pooley posted a 65 Saturday and is alone in fifth place at 206. David Eger (65), Doug Tewell (65) and Peter Jacobsen (71) are tied for sixth at 207.
Irwin already has two titles in 2005, the Turtle Bay Championship and the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am. He owns the Champions Tour record with 42 victories, but he has only two major championships since the start of the 2000 season.
If he wins Sunday, he would tie Jack Nicklaus for first in Champions Tour majors with eight.
