Carter Holds Slim Lead

Jim Carter shot a 3-under-par 68, his third straight round in the 60s, and holds a one-stroke lead over Jim Gallagher Jr., Blaine McCallister and Ted Tryba after three rounds of the Anheuser-Busch Golf Classic at Williamsburg, Va.

Carter had a 54-hole total of 203, 10-under par at the Kingsmill Golf Club’s River Course.

Oppressive 100-degree temperatures didn’t diminish during the rain-delayed third round of the Senior Players Championship at Dearborn, Mich., but Jim Colbert’s commanding lead certainly did.

Colbert, who opened the day with a four-shot advantage after his tournament and TPC of Michigan course-record 63 Friday, found himself one stroke behind J.C. Snead when play was suspended for a second and final time at 4:10 p.m.

Wayne Riley withstood a late charge from Nick Faldo and earned his first European tour title with a two-stroke victory in the $1.04 million Scottish Open at Carnoustie, Scotland. Riley finished at 12-under-par 276 and qualified for next week’s British Open.
