Nicklaus takes lead at Greensboro Open with 67
Nicklaus parlayed three straight birdies into a 67 to surge to 206 at the 54-hole mark and a three-stroke lead over Snead Dunk Sanders Johnston at Sedgefield. Snead carded a 74 after a triple bogey on seven, while Sanders matched the day’s best 66 to climb into second.
Nicklaus Improves Play Ahead of Final Round
Jack Nicklaus, after a 70 69 67 stretch leaves him three strokes clear, says his putting is strong yet drive control remains a work in progress. He planned to skip the event but decided to play after snow hampered practice at home, eyeing a one stroke lead over the field as he faces Sam Snead Julius Boros and Doug Sanders in the GGO final.
