2010 Bridgestone Invitational, Round 3: Ryan Palmer, Sean O’Hair Take Charge

With such a tightly-contested tournament, the lead is bound to change plenty of times, and we’re certainly seeing that in Round 3 of the Bridgestone Invitational. Not long after Ernie Els climbed the leaderboard, Ryan Palmer and Sean O’Hair have made aggressive strides to take a share of the lead.

Neither golfer was within the top ten entering the third round. Palmer recorded seven birdies without committing a single bogey to chalk up a 7-under round. The 33-year old has three career PGA Tour wins. Meanwhile, O’Hair scored an eagle at the second hole to complement his four birdies on Saturday. O’Hair, 28, also has three Tour wins to his name.

Round 3 of the Bridgestone Invitational is underway, and Retief Goosen finds himself at the top of a crowded leaderboard. He leads at 7-under entering Saturday’s play, but eleven players are within three strokes of him.

The closest challengers are Phil Mickelson and Justin Leonard at 6-under. Peter Hanson, Bo Van Pelt, and Bubba Watson stand at 5-under.
