Wonder shot puts Whiteford into contention

A 40-yard chip-in for an eagle three helped rocket Scotland’s Peter Whiteford into contention in the third round of the Cadillac Russian Open.

The Kircaldy 25-year-old, who started the day five under, had gone to the turn in 35 virtually unnoticed after a mixed front nine of three birdies and two bogeys at the Le Meridien Moscow Country Club.
