Englishman Greg Owen and Argentina’s Fabian Gomez share lead at FedEx St Jude Classic



Englishman Greg Owen and Argentina’s Fabian Gomez carded three-under-par rounds of 67 to take a share of the lead with one round to play at the FedEx St Jude Classic at TPC Southwind.

Owen, who has yet to taste victory on the PGA Tour in 213 attempts since 1999, led after the first round on Thursday and repeated the feat two days later thanks to a third round which featured four birdies and a bogey.

Mansfield native Owen, 43, made a steady start by parring the first two holes before earning the first of his birdies at the par-five third.

He repeated the trick at the sixth before suffering a blip when he bogeyed the par-four 10th but recovered his composure to pick up further shots on the 14th and 18th holes to lie nine-under-par overall.

Gomez began with a bogey but recovered in fine style by picking up shots in four of his next five holes before his progress was tempered by bogeys at the 11th and 13th.

The pair are a shot ahead of overnight leader Brooks Koepka and Scott Brown, who posted third-round scores of 71 and 68 respectively.

Koepka, who led Austin Cook by one shot going into Saturday’s action, sank a 22-foot birdie at the 18th to move on to eight under, level with Brown who managed five birdies and three bogeys in an eventful two-under par round.

Cook (72) and Australia’s Matt Jones (68) are tied for fifth on six-under-par overall and are one shot ahead of a eight-strong group tied for seventh on five under, which includes Americans Ryan Palmer, Chris Smith and Chad Campbell.

hall of shame

SUNDERLAND 2002-03

No one has ended a Premier League season quite like Sunderland. They lost each of their final 15 games, taking no points after January. They ended up with 19 in total, sacking managers Peter Reid and Howard Wilkinson and losing 3-1 to Charlton when they scored three own goals in eight minutes.

SUNDERLAND 2005-06

Until Derby came along, Sunderland’s total of 15 points was the Premier League’s record low. They made it until May and their final home game before winning at the Stadium of Light while they lost a joint record 29 of their 38 league games.

HUDDERSFIELD 2018-19

Joined Derby as the only team to be relegated in March. No striker scored until January, while only two players got more assists than goalkeeper Jonas Lossl. The mid-season appointment Jan Siewert was to end his time as Huddersfield manager with a 5.3 per cent win rate.

ASTON VILLA 2015-16

Perhaps the most inexplicably bad season, considering they signed Idrissa Gueye and Adama Traore and still only got 17 points. Villa won their first league game, but none of the next 19. They ended an abominable campaign by taking one point from the last 39 available.

FULHAM 2018-19

Terrible in different ways. Fulham’s total of 26 points is not among the lowest ever but they contrived to get relegated after spending over £100 million (Dh457m) in the transfer market. Much of it went on defenders but they only kept two clean sheets in their first 33 games.

LA LIGA: Sporting Gijon, 13 points in 1997-98.

BUNDESLIGA: Tasmania Berlin, 10 points in 1965-66
