ST. ANDREWS (Scotland): Scot Paul Lawrie produced a career low to finish tied for the lead with Ireland’s Paul McGinley after three rounds of the weather-plagued Alfred Dunhill Links Championship on Sunday.
Lawrie recorded 10 birdies in a nine-under-par 63 on the St. Andrews course before being joined at the top of the board, at 14-under par, by McGinley, who recorded a one-under-par 71 on the Carnoustie course.
Lawrie’s only blemish was a three-putt bogey at the infamous Road Hole, the 17th, as he strove for a first victory since winning the 1999 Open Championship.
