Saturday, July 26, 2003 - 04:48 PM

Thomas Bjorn got up and down from sand at the 16th at the Irish Open at Portmarnock.

How he must have wished that had happened in the final round of the Open, and the birdie put him back into a share for the lead. But he bogeyed the next.

Lonard dropped shots at the 16th and 17th and Ireland's Peter Lawrie took six at the 16th as well after chipping over the green.

Karlsson and Lynn, who put his tee shot to two feet on the 15th, were out in front at 10 under.

However, Bjorn sank a 25-footer on the last for a 68 and got back in a share for the lead at 10 under.

Karlsson fell out of it by bogeying the 17th, but Campbell got up and down from sand at the 16th and was joint top again.
