Harrington, Hensby, Cink Share US Senior Open Lead in Colorado

Padraig Harrington is currently tied for the lead at the US Senior Open Championship in Colorado Springs, sharing the top spot with Stewart Cink and Mark Hensby at eight-under par heading into the final round. Harrington, the 2022 US Senior Open champion, made a dramatic chip-in birdie on the 18th hole to secure his position at the top after a challenging back nine, which included a double bogey and a three-putt bogey. The trio all shot rounds of 68, with Dane Thomas Bjorn close behind at seven-under. The tournament has been affected by changing weather conditions, including a 32-minute delay due to swirling winds and temperature drops, which caused fluctuating leads and challenging putting conditions. Earlier in the tournament, Harrington made four birdies on the front nine but saved a crucial bogey on the 15th hole after losing his tee shot deep in the trees, which helped maintain his first-round lead. The competition remains intense as Harrington, Cink, and Hensby prepare for the final round, each aiming to claim the Francis D. Ouimet Memorial Trophy.
