NAPLES, Fla. — Bernhard Langer remained in position to tie Hale Irwin’s PGA Tour Champions victory record of 45, shooting a 2-under 70 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead into the final round of the Chubb Classic.
The 65-year-old Langer, the winner last year, had a 10-under 134 total on Tiburon Golf Club’s Black Course after bettering his age Friday with a 64.
Charles Schwab Cup winner Steven Alker (65) was a stroke back with Jerry Kelly (66), Dicky Pride (70) and Paul Goydos (71).
At 8 under, two shots back, were Fred Couples, who shot 69 with bogeys at two par 5s, and Steve Stricker (69), who is seeking a record fourth consecutive PGA Tour Champions victory.
