Jim Gallagher Jr. zoomed past Pullman’s Kirk Triplett to the top of the leaderboard in the Anheuser-Busch Golf Classic at Williamsburg, Va.

Gallagher shot a 6-under-par 65, matching the best score of the first two rounds, to reach the midpoint of the $1.1 million event at 8-under par 134.

Blaine McCallister’s 67 and Jim Carter’s 69 left them one stroke off the lead. Fourteen others were grouped at 136 or 137, including Triplett, who was eight under after 15 holes. He bogeyed 16 and was penalized two strokes for putting from the wrong marker on the 18th green to finish at 137.

Australia’s Wayne Riley fought off bitterly cold, blustery conditions to shoot a 69 and take a five-stroke lead after three rounds of the Scottish Open golf tournament in Carnoustie, Scotland.

Tiger Woods, the 19-year-old U.S. amateur champion, had a 75 for 215.

Jim Colbert shot a tournament- and course-record 9-under-par 63 to take a four-stroke lead in the Senior Players Championship in Dearborn, Mich.
