RENO, Nev. -- Gary Woodlands seven-point lead in the Reno-Tahoe Open sounds a lot bigger than it is in the wild modified Stableford scoring system. Woodland holed out from a greenside bunker for eagle and hit an approach shot from the fairway to 2 inches for one of his six birdies Saturday to take the third-round lead with 37 points at Montreux Golf Club on the edge of the Sierra Nevada. The scoring system awards eight points for eagle, five for eagle, two for birdie, zero for par, minus-one for bogey and minus-three for double-bogey or worse. A late-charging Brendon Steele vaulted into second place with 30 points. He played the last six holes in 7-under par under a traditional format, capping five consecutive birdies with a 33-foot chip-in for eagle on the 616-yard 18th. Woodland, the 2011 PGA Tour rookie of the year who like Steele has one career victory, said he figures it translates into maybe a two-stroke lead heading into a typical Sunday. "Its tough to tell in this format," said Woodland, whose best finishes this year are three ties for 16th at the Phoenix Open, Memorial and AT&T National. "Obviously, if you make birdies, you can move up quickly," the Kansas native said. "Somebody can hole out on a par-5 and all the sudden a seven-point lead vanishes." Just ask Steele, who started the day tied for 24th with 13 points. He had two bogeys with a lone birdie for a net zero points on the front nine but started the back side with a 6-foot birdie putt on the par-4 10th. "Didnt have any points going into No. 10 and I was feeling like I was getting run over," he said. "All of a sudden, things changed and the ball started going in the hole." "I think I was in 50th place going into the back nine, so you can obviously move up pretty quick," said Steele, whose lone PGA victory also came during his rookie year at the 2011 Texas Open. His best finish this year is a tie for sixth at the Phoenix Open. Last year he tied for fourth at the Texas Open, tied for fifth at Phoenix and was eighth at Reno. Beginning with the 518-yard 13th, Steele reeled off consecutive birdie putts of 13, 5, 7 and 6 feet. The streak was in jeopardy when he hit into a bunker guarding the 464-yard, par-4 17th but holed out the sand shot from 27 feet. On No. 18, he drove the ball 364 yards, hit his second shot 246 yards into the rough behind the green, but -- after moving some camera equipment and adjusting his swing because a fence was in the way -- knocked his chip in the hole. "Just trying to hit a good shot. I dont ever really try to hole chips," he said about the dramatic finish that is the best consecutive, six-hole stretch on the PGA Tour this year. The 17 points Steele tallied on the back nine alone equal the best one-day record in the format at Reno, equaling the mark J.B. Holmes set last year and Rod Pampling equaled in Fridays second round. Under traditional play, Steeles card would have read 37-28-65. "It doesnt happen that often. You really have to enjoy it when it does," he said. "I mean, I didnt know what the score even was, but as far as the score goes, its probably the best Ive ever had." David Mathis heads into Sundays round in third place with 29 points, followed by second-round leader Andres Romero at 27, Charlie Wi at 25, Dickey Pride 24 and Rory Sabbatini 23. Stuart Appleby was in a group two more points back at 21. Ottawas Brad Fritsch picked up 10 points for the second straight day, firing five birdies, leaving him in a tie for 19th place with 19 points. Woodland, who claimed his victory at the 2011 Transitions Championship, holed out from a greenside bunker 50 feet away for an eagle on the par-5 second Saturday then chipped in from about 53 feet after hitting his tee shot over the green into the rough on the par-3 seventh to avoid trouble early. "Today was an interesting day," said Woodland, who started the day in second place with 21 points, one behind Romero. "I felt like I hit it really well, I just didnt hit many greens, especially early in the round," he said. "All in all, my short game saved me today." Woodland sandwiched birdies around a bogey on the par-5 ninth when he failed to get up and down out of a greenside bunker and two-putted for birdie on the par-5 13th before his 126-yard approach shot on the 439-yard 15th stopped just 2 inches shy of the hole. He added a 12-foot birdie putt on the 18th to head into Sundays final round ahead by seven points. "All in all, Im going to have to go out and make birdies tomorrow," he said.

This win, though, was Pakistans first at Lords since 1996; in four Tests here between 2001 and 2010, they lost three times - twice to England and once to Australia.10 Wickets for Yasir Shah, his first ten-wicket haul in Tests; his previous best was 9 for 155, against Sri Lanka in Galle last year.8 The previous record for most wickets by a Pakistan bowler in a Lords Test: Waqar Younis took 8 for 154 in 1996, which was also the last time Pakistan won a Test here. Yasirs haul is also the second best by an overseas spinner at Lords, and only the seventh instance of a ten-for by any spinner here. The previous such instance was way back in 1974, when Derek Underwood took 13 for 71 against Pakistan.3 Tests England have lost, out of their last five at Lords: in 2014 they lost to India, while Australia beat them last year. In 24 previous Tests here between 2002 and 2013, England had a 13-3 win-loss record, losing twice to South Africa and once to Australia.86 Wickets for Yasir after 13 Tests, the most by any bowler at this stage of his career. The next best is Australias Charlie Turner, a right-arm fast bowler who played in the 1880s and 1890s, who had 81 wickets after 13.21 Instances of two bowllers taking a ten-for in the same Test - Yasir and Chris Woakes both achieved the feat here.dddddddddddd The last such instance was in 2008, in a Test between Sri Lanka and India in Galle.204 Balls faced by Woakes in this Test - 96 in the first innings and 108 in the second. Add his match haul of 11 for 102, and it makes him only the fourth player to take a ten-for and face 200-plus deliveries in a Test (in matches where balls-faced data is available). The others who have achieved it are Michael Bevan (1997, v West Indies), Chaminda Vaas (1995, v New Zealand) and Allan Border (1989, v West Indies). Woakes match figures of 11 for 102 are the fifth best for England in a defeat.7 Number of dismissals in the 40s in this Test: Joe Root, James Vince, Gary Ballance and Jonny Bairstow for England; and Mohammad Hafeez, Asad Shafiq and Sarfraz Ahmed for Pakistan. Only once in Test history have more batsmen been dismissed between 40 and 49: in an Ashes Test at Edgbaston in 1989, when eight batsmen fell in the 40s. There have only been three other Tests with seven dismissals in the 40s. Englands Nos. 4, 5 and 6 all fell in the 40s in their second innings, the third such instance for any team in Test history. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
