GULLANE, SCOTLAND – England’s Lee Westwood is 18 holes away from his first major championship after firing a third-round 70 to move to three-under for the championship.
Westwood is two shots ahead of Tiger Woods, who carded a 72 on Saturday, and Hunter Mahan, whose round of three-under 68 moved him to minus-one overall as well.
2013 Masters champ Adam Scott is at even par through three rounds. American Phil Mickelson is at +2 for the championship.
