Petterson storms into contention

PA 7587096 300x199 Petterson storms into contentionCarl Pettersson (14/1 in Betfred’s in-play betting) will start the final round of the Canadian Open just four shots off the lead after a stunning 60 on Saturday to move into contention for the title.

The Swede carded the lowest-ever score at the event, which has been running since 1904, keeping him in touch with leader Dean Wilson.

Pettersson’s third round included two eagles and seven birdies, with the 32-year-old seeing his 30-foot birdie putt skirt past the hole at the 18th.

Hawaiian Wilson, who was given an exemption by the sponsors to play the PGA Tour event, carded a 65 on Saturday to take him to -15 for the tournament.

Pettersson (8/11 to win his two-ball v Wilson) is joined on 11-under-par by South Africa?s Tim Clark and US veteran Bob Estes, with the three-man group the closest challengers to the leader.

Former Masters winner Trevor Immelman is tied for fifth on ten-under, alongside US trio Bryce Molder, Kevin Sutherland and Brock Mackenzie.

Englighman Luke Donald is in a group of nine players at eight-under-par, but the Ryder Cup hopeful has seven shots to make up on Wilson.
