Singh and Coles lead in Houston

Vijay Singh and Gavin Coles lead after the third round of the Houston Open at Redstone Golf Club.

Singh, who has won two of the last three tournaments in Houston, shot a two-under-par 70 and is at 11-under 205 with Coles, who carded a 71.

The number two golfer in the world, Singh followed an opening-round 64 with a mundane 71 in the second round. He bogeyed two of his first four holes in the third round before birdies on the eighth, 10th, 12th and 15th pulled him into a share of the lead.

Two-time Masters champion Jose Maria Olazabal and Brett Quigley are tied for fourth at 207. John Daly, Joe Ogilvie and Tom Byrum are tied for sixth at eight-under 208.

Northern Ireland’s Darren Clarke is tied for 18th after a 71.
