Golf: Ogilvie now tied for lead

Joe Ogilvie is tied with Colin Montgomerie at the head of the British Open pack.

Ogilvie, playing his first Open and only his second major, added his fourth birdie of the day on the long 11th and went alongside Montgomerie.

He parred the difficult 12th and then made a 20-footer on the next to reach seven under and relegate the Scot to second place just as he went to the first tee.

Owen, playing just his third major, also birdied the 13th and with that moved to five under and joint third with Parnevik.

Davis Love shot a 67 for two under and will long remember his par on the last.

Love’s second flew over the green and finished up against the clubhouse wall. He just had enough room to putt it, hit it to 30 feet and made it.

When Gary Player won in 1974 he putted left-handed from a similar spot in his final round, but was already well clear.
