Pernice charges to lead at Buick Open

May 31, 2007

Jesper Parnevik acknowledges the crowd after putting on the 18th hole to end the third round of the Buick Open in Grand Blanc, Mich., Saturday, June 30, 2007. Parnevik finished the day tied for second with two other golfers.

Tom Pernice Jr. was having a mediocre round until surprising himself with a spectacular stretch that pushed his name atop a shuffled leaderboard. Pernice had an eagle and four birdies during a five-hole run and his 66 Saturday gave him the third-round lead at the topsy-turvy Buick Open. “The way I was going along, I never dreamed I would get to 6 under,” he said.
