VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Bo Van Pelt birdied four of his last five holes to finish with a 5-under-par 65 on Saturday and a one-stroke lead after three rounds at the RBC Canadian Open.
Canadian Adam Hadwin, playing on a sponsor’s exemption, missed a 12-foot birdie putt on 18 to finish with a 68 and alone in second at 4-under 206.
Andres Romero (67) and first-round leader Kris Blanks (69) are tied for third, two shots back, after another tough day in the thick rough along the tight, tree-lined Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club course.
John Daly, who four-putted No. 18 for triple bogey Friday, shot 67 and is in a group of four at 2-under.
Three tied at Sr. British.
Mark Calcavecchia surrendered a three-shot cushion to finish the third round of the Senior British Open tied for the lead with fellow American Russ Cochran and South Africa’s David Frost.
Calcavecchia, the overnight co-leader, was in cruise control at 10-under with six holes remaining but made a triple-bogey 7 at No. 13 after driving into the heather. He dropped another shot on No. 16.
A birdie at the final hole left the 1989 British Open champion at 7-under. Frost shot a bogey-free 66 — tied for the week’s best round — and Cochran had a 67.
Corey Pavin and Barry Lane each shot a 69 and are a shot back of the leaders, with three more Americans — Chip Beck, Mike Goodes and Lee Rinker — at 5-under.
Miyazato leads by two.
