Jones Has Slim Lead In Canadian Open

Associated Press

Steve Jones splashed his way to a par on the last hole Saturday in Montreal to take a one-stroke lead in the Canadian Open over an emotional Greg Norman, who wore all black to honor the memory of Princess Diana.

Four players were another stroke back and British Open champion Justin Leonard, who finished the third round with three consecutive bogeys, was three strokes off the lead.

Jones had a 4-under 206 total.
