Andy Sullivan cards 64 to extend English Championship lead to 5

WARE, England — Andy Sullivan is closing in on his first win in almost five years after a third-round 64 on Saturday gave him a five-shot lead at the English Championship.

The 33-year-old Englishman won three times in 2015 as he finished in Europe's top 10 but he has not lifted a trophy since the Portugal Masters in October of that year.

The 2016 Ryder Cup player entered the third day at Hanbury Manor with a one-shot advantage and carded two eagles, five birdies and two bogeys to move to 21 under, five strokes clear of countryman Steven Brown.
