Stadler leads Seniors but Shark lurks nearby

Craig Stadler holds a two shot lead in the Seniors British Open at Royal Aberdeen Golf Club after his round of 68 today.

Hot on the heels of the big American is Greg Norman, who fired a 67 to hold second place on one over par.

Ireland's Des Smyth has kept in contention with a 73 to leave him three over par. Smyth even fired an eagle on 12 but five of his back nine and hit one double bogey on his back nine and had to settle for third.
