Bjorn takes 3-shot lead in Portugal

Golf Betting Lines

06/12/2010 - Estoril, Portugal (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Denmark's Thomas Bjorn fired his second consecutive seven-under 65 to take sole possession of the lead Saturday after the third round of the Portugal Open.

Chasing his first win in four years, Bjorn finished 54 holes on the Penha Longa course with a 19-under 197 to take a three-shot lead over hard-charging Richard Green of Australia.

Bjorn is winless since collecting his ninth European Tour title at the 2006 Irish Open.

Green, a two-time winner, collected eight birdies Saturday for a bogey-free 64 that moved him from a tie for 10th place into solo second at 16-under 200.

Ireland's Damien McGrane (68) was two shots further back at 14-under 202, while Englishmen Robert Rock (68) and Robert Coles (69) shared fourth place with Argentina's Daniel Vancsik (68) at 203.

Bjorn is in desperate need of another good finish. The 39-year-old Dane has missed nine cuts in 15 starts on the European Tour this season, including a streak of six consecutive missed cuts that was snapped with a tie for ninth place in Wales last week.
