Rocco Mediate hangs onto Senior PGA Championship lead (The Associated Press)

BENTON HARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- Rocco Mediate shot an even-par 71 on Saturday in the Senior PGA Championship to take a two-stroke lead over two-time defending champion Colin Montgomerie into the final round.

Four strokes ahead at a tournament-record 14 under entering the day, had three birdies and three bogeys - his first of the week - in the third round at Harbor Shores. He opened with a 62 to match the course and tournament records and had a 66 on Friday.

The 53-year-old Mediate won both of his PGA Tour Champions titles in 2013 after winning six times on the PGA Tour.
