Steward Ginn Leader after Round 3 at Senior British Open

Stewart Ginn has a one shot lead over Tom Watson at the Senior British Open at Muirfield.

Dennis Durnian had a hole-in-one on the par 3, 231 yard No. 4 hole. He won 231 bottles of wine -- one for each hole. It was the second such award this week. John Chaffee, an American, had a hole-in-one on Thursday and earned 191 bottles of wine.

Faldo Shares Lead at Senior British Open


Nick Faldo admitted to being uncertain about his ability to play at a competitive level since most of his energy is now spent on commentating for CBS. However, his first round performance in the Senior British Open Championship at Muirfieldwas extremely successful.
He shot a 3-under par 68 and is tied for the lead with fellow golfers Dave Stockton, Nick Job and Gordon J. Brand. On the first hole of the first round, he hit his ball in the rough and ended up with a bogey. But by the third hole, his nerves, possibly, had settled, and he had three consecutive bogeys.
Only one stroke behind the leaders are six other players.

Nick Faldo to play Senior Golf




Nick Faldo, who turned 50 on July 18th, will play at the 21st Senior British Open at Muirfield. He is paired with Tom Watson and Mark O'Meara.

Faldo won three Open Championships in the past; two of them at Muirfield. Faldo competed in last week's Open Championship at Carnoustie, but failed to make the cut. He is a commentator for CBS and has said this is the first time in a year that he has played two weeks in a row. Faldo hasn't won a tournament since the 1997 Nissan Open.
Wayne Grady, who turns 50 on Thursday, the opening day of the Senior British Open, will also play in the event.
