Ireland’s Seamus Power loved one other six-under 65 to share the lead with Ben Griffin on the Bermuda Championship on Saturday.

The Waterford native struck with some late birdies for one other round of six-under to go into Sunday’s final round stage with American Ben Griffin on 18 beneath.

The 35-year-old Irishman is not any stranger to windy circumstances having performed on the match the previous few years.

Further birdies adopted on 11, 16 and 17, with a double bogey on the par-three thirteenth the one blemish on his round.

“I knew I had to get birdies before 11,” Power stated. “I don’t know how comfortable you get when you get to 16 and you’re having to aim your ball in the ocean.”

Griffin gave up on the sport a number of years in the past earlier than making a comeback

Griffin, who was beforehand working as a mortgage mortgage officer, earned his full card onto the PGA Tour final yr.

“It’s been surreal really the last year and two months of just being comfortable on the golf course and just going out and trying to win,” Griffin stated.

“When you’re playing mini-tour events and you’re trying to grind for top 10 just to break even, just have enough money to maybe do a Monday qualifier, it’s not necessarily the easiest in terms.

“Now that I’ve this little little bit of freedom, I can go on the market and simply attempt to win golf tournaments.”

Australia’s Aaron Baddeley and Kevin Yu of Taipei are two shots back at 16-under, with another American, Brian Gay, alone in fifth place on 15-under following a third straight 66.

Overnight leader Ben Crane struggled in round three, with four birdies and six bogeys in a two-over 73 and he now sits in joint ninth, six shots off the pace.
