Steve Stricker leads by 3, defending champ Cejka disqualified at Regions Tradition

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Steve Stricker will take a three-stroke lead over Steven Alker into the final round of the Regions Tradition, birdieing the final hole Saturday for a 6-under 66.

Playing his third straight tournament after a six-month hiatus for health reasons, Stricker sits at 17-under 199 as he seeks his second win in the past three tries in the PGA Tour Champions major at Greystone Golf & Country Club. He had three straight birdies from holes 13-15 after his lone bogey and polished off the round with a fourth.

Stricker is seeking his fourth major championship on the 50-and-over circuit.
