EDMOND, Okla. -- Several years ago, a rare skin disorder left Gene Sauers unsure if he would survive. Now he has a chance to win the U.S. Senior Open. Sauers crept up on the field and shot a 3-under 68 on Saturday to take a three-stroke lead after three rounds at Oak Tree National. He moved to 7 under, passing front-runners Bernhard Langer, Scott Dunlap and Colin Montgomerie along the way. The journey to this opportunity is what makes Sundays final round extra special for the 51-year-old Sauers. He said a reaction to a wrongly prescribed medication caused Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a disorder that burned the skin on his arms and legs from the inside out. While he was in the hospital for seven weeks recovering, he pictured his golf swing. He got out of the hospital in June 2011 and eventually returned to the course. "The good Lord said Im going to give you another chance," Sauers said. "Bogey doesnt matter that much anymore. Thats when I learned to have a great time and tried to hit everything I was capable of doing, and it worked out today." Langer and Dunlap are tied for second at 4 under. Montgomerie is another stroke back in fourth. It looked as if Montgomerie might run away from the field early on in the third round. He opened with birdies on Nos. 1 and 3 to jump out to a four-shot lead over Langer, who by then had moved from third to second. Langer remained steady and Montgomerie bogeyed Nos. 5 and 7. Heading into the back nine, Mongomeries lead was just one shot. Then Sauers got going. He had a 33 on the back nine, including birdies on Nos. 12, 16 and 18, to take control heading into the final round. It was an impressive run for someone who hasnt placed higher than 15th in a Champions Tour event this season. "Ive got some help back home," Sauers said. "Some friends and some teachers have been helping me a little bit. Theyve got me hitting the ball solid now. Building my confidence is mainly what they do. They know I still have it. You know, its just -- go out there and do it. Try not to put too much pressure on myself and try to have fun." Montgomerie shot a 74 after leading at the end of the first two days. He was 3 over on the back nine, but is confident he can regain some of his earlier touch. "I will try to do what I did Thursday with a 65," he said. "If I can do it Thursday, I can do it Sunday. If I can hit it in the fairway, I can play to the strength of my game, which is the iron game." Langer, who has three wins this season on the Champions Tour, was solid, but had several potential birdies just miss during his even-par 71. "Sometimes they lip in, sometimes they lip out," he said. "It was frustrating. I played really good golf on the back nine, the last nine holes, had a lot of chances, lot of opportunities and I think I had four lip-outs or something and left one short on 18 and could have easily been three better but could have, should have, would have doesnt count in this game." Langer isnt conceding yet. "I played pretty solid golf for three days in a row and the putter was hot yesterday," he said. "Wasnt so hot today, but, you know, well see what happens tomorrow. Weve still got 18 holes to go. Its a lot of golf left, and anything can happen." Marco Dawson, who shot a 76 on Friday, rebounded with a 69 on Saturday. He left Friday disappointed and saying he was unsure how to play the course. On Saturday, he was 1 over through six, and then got on a torrid stretch that included birdies on Nos. 7, 8, 10, 12, 13 and 15 to move into a tie for the lead at 5 under. Dawson bogeyed Nos. 16, 17 and 18 to fall to 2 under. He is tied for fifth with Jeff Sluman and Vijay Singh. Dawson said he expects it to be tough to get good scores on Sunday because the course will continue to dry out in near 100-degree heat. "Unless somebody just gets really hot with the putter and gets some good bounces, you know, the best score may be 4, 5 under tomorrow," he said.

It wasn’t the reaction to the final whistle, or the appreciation of two huge saves by David Ousted to preserve the win and another clean sheet. It wasn’t even the reception to Kendall Waston’s goal itself. It was the moment just before. Vancouver has always been a savvy soccer market. You can debate why, but going back even before 1974, there seemed to be an appreciation for the game that didn’t exist elsewhere in North America. The Whitecaps of 1979 galvanized that reputation, as did the parade of world class stars that wore the blue and white. Even the later incarnations of pro soccer captured trophies and the appreciation of the city, just not on the same scale. So while sometimes accused of being too polite, or too negative, the 21,000 fans inside BC Place proved en masse what their team, and what the game meant to them. They collectively stood just after Kekuta Manneh electrified them to earn the corner, and just before Pedro Morales delivered the decisive cross. It was as if 21,000 people became one huge human drum roll, with almost a sixth sense for the defining moment that was about to occur. Seventy-Five minutes earlier, their former captain was given one final curtain call, as Jay DeMerit put a public end to his career. A centre-back, who’s own defining moment as a player might have been the 2006 Premier League Promotion final at Cardiff’s Millennium stadium, when he nodded home the game winner past Leeds United, from an Ashley Young corner. HHe’ll never pay for a drink in a Hornets bar ever again.dddddddddddd For supporters of Watford, it was a monumental goal, and a multi-million dollar moment for a club that always seemed to straddle the line between the top two divisions. How appropriate then, that the centre back who ultimately replaced DeMerit in Vancouver, would leap up and connect with a cross, that had been rehearsed over and over in training the day before. Kendall Waston was already gaining cult status before ... but Saturday’s goal, which earned the Whitecaps an MLS Cup lottery ticket, could mean so much more for the player and his new team. The supporters asked, the team answered - a wonderful moment in human synergy. The kind that creates history and defines what a club really is - a maker of memories and the provider of hope for more. Because of the single entity structure of MLS, and the fact that the league is only 18 years old, there exists a certain snobbery about the circuit’s history and credibility in the global context. But even the world’s most storied, and oldest clubs had to start the same way, with folkloric heros and legendary moments. Caps fans probably weren’t thinking about that as Waston raced to the corner flag with an unorthodox, beautifully raw, non-premeditated celebration. Whether they were long time season ticket holders from the 70’s, or there for the first time, an entire building was galvanized into one buzzing bee hive of emotion, elation and joy ... not to mention, relief. Imagine what it would mean to everyone associated with the club, if the players could offer up one more such occasion this season. ' ' '
