Stewart Cink played the last of his 28 holes Saturday in near darkness in Palm Harbor, Fla., eager to finish a long day in the toughest conditions the PGA Tour has seen this year.
Even after his lone bogey in the third round for a 2-under 69, he couldn’t wait to get started Sunday.
Playing in 30 m.p.h. wind at the suspended third round of the PODS Championship, Cink’s fortunes turned when he ran off three straight birdies and went from four shots down to a two-shot lead that likely puts him in the final group for the third time this year.
He was at 5-under 208, two shots ahead of former U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy.
*Bernhard Langer moved into position for his second Champions Tour victory, shooting his second straight 6-under 65 to take a three-stroke lead in the Toshiba Classic in Newport Beach, Calif.
*Defending champ Peter Hedblom shot a bogey-free 7-under 65 to take a two-stroke lead into the final round of the Malaysian Open in Kuala Lumpur.
