Carquest Auto Parts Gets Birdie Into Birdies

"We're very good friends," said Clarke. "I would certainly like to be four or five shots ahead of him as I could have been as opposed to tied for the lead, but we'll have some fun."

Bjorn recovered with a birdie at nine, a hole he has birdied each of the first three rounds. He parred the first three holes on the second nine, then birdied No. 13.

Now Bjorn has a shot to win at the same venue as his first win on the European Tour.

Ernie Els, a two-time winner of this tournament, shot a four-under 67 on Saturday. He is tied for 10th place with Jamie Donaldson (71), Mark Foster (68) and Charl Schwartzel (72). The group is knotted at seven-under-par 206.

Roberts began the third round in a tie for 15th place after the second round -- suspended due to inclement weather on Friday -- was completed in the morning.

It was also his first Champions Tour title after winning eight times on the PGA Tour.

But since winning the MasterCard Championship, Turtle Bay Championship and ACE Group Classic to begin 2006, the 51-year-old Roberts has since collected eight top-10 finishes without another win.

Roberts broke a four-way tie for the lead when he drained a four-foot birdie putt at the par-four 16th to get to 12-under. It was the first of three consecutive birdies to end his bogey-free round at the TPC of Michigan.

Don Pooley -- one of eight players who held a share of the second-round lead -- now heads a group of four players who are tied for fifth place. Pooley shot a two-under 70 in the third round and is tied with Bobby Wadkins (65), Des Smyth (68) and Jim Thorpe (69) at minus-10.

Joe Ozaki tied a Champions Tour record with eight consecutive birdies on Friday, then tallied a double-bogey and a birdie Saturday morning to hold a share of the second-round lead.

Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) July 16, 2006 -- CARQUEST Auto Parts and Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Rookie, Kim Hall, are excited to announce their partnership. Hall, 24, a native of San Antonio, Texas, grew up hearing the name CARQUEST Auto Parts. Her father, Robert Rowton, has worked for CARQUEST Auto Parts in San Antonio, Texas for 26 years. In December 2005, Hall earned her LPGA Tour card, and it only seemed appropriate for CARQUEST to sponsor Hall on the elite and globally successful LPGA Tour.

Hall has earned considerable recognition in the women’s golf community through her accomplishments on and off the course. She earned a degree in American Studies at Stanford University while playing golf on the collegiate level. Hall played for Stanford from 1999-2003 and was named to the All-PAC-10 Team three times (1999-2000, 2001-02, 2002-2003). In addition, Hall is a two-time Stanford women’s golf team Most Valuable Player. Since graduating from Stanford, Hall has had continued success competing on the 2004 Futures Tour, and earning her LPGA Tour Card in the LPGA Qualifying Tournament in 2005.
