Germany's Bernhard Langer extends his advantage on penultimate day of Senior British Open in Wales on Saturday (26th July).

Script:

'Moving day' at the Senior British Open on Saturday saw 56 year-old Bernhard Langer continuing to lead the charge - and taking further steps in the right direction.

The German, who is looking to seal a wire-to-wire victory in Wales, and a second Senior Open title, posted a front nine of 32, with birdies on the second, fourth and sixth holes to move to 14-under par heading to the back nine.

Colin Montgomerie's quest for a third Major title of the year had been scuppered by Langer so far, and although the Scotsman kept in touch with three birdies of his own before the turn, he ran into trouble on the 10th, where he carded a double-bogey, to drop back.

Canadian Rick Gibson and American pair Bob Tway and Scott Dunlap, moved up the leaderboard - with Dunlap signing for a round of 65 to set the clubhouse target of four-under-par.

Ireland's Philip Walton also enjoyed a fine day on the Bridgend links, equalling the course record of 64 set on Friday by American Tom Pernice Jnr.
But it's Langer who seemingly has one hand on the trophy - he heads into the final round with a record eight-shot lead over Rick Gibson.
