AKRON, Ohio - Scott Parel took advantage of Retief Goosen's problems Saturday to take the third-round lead in the Bridgestone Senior Players Championship, the fourth of the PGA Tour Champions' five major tournaments.
Seven strokes behind Goosen at the start of the day, Parel birdied two of the last three holes - holing a 30-footer on the par-4 18th - for 3-under 67 and a one-stroke lead over Goosen at Firestone Country Club.
''I had quite few short ones on the front nine that I didn't make,'' Parel said. ''I guess it all evens out.''
Goosen followed his opening rounds of 69 and 62 with a 75.
