I a sofa do grabs 5-stroke Lea British open by Rob Gloster St. Andrews Scotland apr Nick Faldo moved into position to take another major championship saturday blitzing the old course for a five. Stroke Lead after three record breaking rounds of the British open. The Days Best round a in fact a round that tied for the Best Ever shot in the open a was the 9-under 63 of unheralded englishman Paul Broadhurst the Winner of just one tournament in his career he survived a bump on the head in a phone Booth the night before to finish round three at 10-under, 206. Greg Norman who started the Day tied with Faldo at 12-under Par collapsed in a sea of bunkers and poor putts and wound up eight strokes off the Pace. Faldo Winner of the open in 1987 and Champion of the masters the last two years started Faldo with a Birdie on the first Hole and kept going finishing with a 5-under-Par 67 and a 54-Hole total of 199. That was three strokes better than the old three round open record set by Tom Watson when he won at Mirfield in 1980, Faldo capped it with a Birdie-3 at the 18th, and he is now just 18 holes away from solidifying his grasp on the top spot in Golf. Norman made four bogeys on the Back nine in route to a 76,4over Par and 10 shots worse than each of his opening two rounds. At 208, he was 8-under Par and nine shots behind the Leader. In second place at 12-under 204, were american Payne Stewart and Ian Baker Firtch of Australia. Stewart had a 4-under 68, with a Birdie-3 at the final Hole while Baker Finch shot an 8-under 64.

After Broadhurst came Frank Nobilo of new zealand and Ian Woosnam of Wales at 207, Nobilo with a round of 4-under 68 and Woosnam 2-under 70. Then came Norf fian partnered with Faldo As the last golfers out he dropped a shot when he three putted at no. 2, birdied nos. 4 and 6, then started to dive out of Contention. He three putted on the ninth drove into Fairway bunkers on the Way to bogey-5s at 12 and 13, took another 5 on 15 and three putted for 5 at 16. Beginning the Day in a position to dominate nor Man finished barely on the the Leader Board. But Faldo was at the top and not looking Back. The englishman who May be the hottest player in the world at the moment added birdies at the Par-5 fifth the Par-4 ninth 16th and 18th, and the Par-3 11th. His Lone bogey was at the 17th, a 5 on the treacherous Road Hole. His most spectacular shot of the Day was not that spectacular. It was a 25-foot putt for Birdie on the 16th. There were no Long Irons into the cup no bump and runs through the hollows and humps of St Andrews nothing that set the round apart a except great Golf. Baker Finch shot an 8-under-Par 64 for a three round total of 204, twelve under As the usually unpredictable sea breezes remained mild and the feared old course continued to yield record Low scores. Stewart birdied the first second fifth and seventh holes then pumped his fist after the Birdie-3 at no 18. But Broadhurst was in the record books. He did it with phenomenal Iron play that was unhurt by his run in with an old red British Telephone Booth. After going to dinner Friday night Broadhurst a unsure if his 1-under 143 had made the Cut a called the course to see when he might be teeing off in the morning. He walked into the phone Booth and the heavy Metal door sprang Back whacking him above the right Temple and drawing blood. A it gave me a Good crack in the Eye Quot he said a Small Cut still visible. Once on the course he did the heavy hitting. The pea european tour Rookie of the year in 1989, Broadhurst came to the open with one career Victory in a rain shortened tournament in France last year. His Best showing this year was an Lith place tie at the age open in Montpelier France in april. But he looked like a Champion at St. Andrews saturday. He birdied the first with a 10-foot putt the third with a 12-footer and the Par-5 fifth with a 3-Iron to 40 feet. That started a run of six birdies in a Row and the Short game was the key a a wedge to 10 feet at no. 6, a Sand wedge to a foot at 7, a 6-Iron to 15 feet at 8, a 9-Iron to a foot at 9 and an approach on 10 that landed 40 feel away from the Flag. Broadhurst a putt lipped the cup and he tapped in for Birdic-3. He had a Chance for a Birdie-2 at 11 but missed from 15 feet. On the Road Hole the notorious 17th, he ran a 4-Iron onto the Green past the Road Bunker and two putted from 25 feet. And at 18, his 9-Iron stopped a foot from the hag and he easily putted in fora final  stage left Lac Vassi verve France apr Greg Lemond All but wrapped up his third tour de France saturday with an impressive time trial performance in the next to last stage of the race.
