Bernhard Langer achieved a one-stroke lead at the US Senior Open at the challenging SentryWorld Course in Wisconsin on Saturday. The German golfer shot a five-under-par 67 to take the lead at the tournament, which is being held for the first time at the course.
Langer, a two-time Masters champion, had a bogey-free round that included five birdies. He is now in a good position to win his fourth US Senior Open title. He currently leads the tournament by one stroke over American Scott Parel and Englishman Paul Broadhurst.
The SentryWorld Course is known for its challenging layout, which features narrow fairways and deep bunkers. It also has a number of water hazards that can make it difficult for golfers to stay out of trouble. Despite the difficult conditions, Langer was able to keep his ball in play and make the most of his opportunities.
Langer has been a dominant force on the senior golf circuit for many years. He has won a total of 31 senior titles, including two US Senior Open titles in 2010 and 2014. He also won the Senior Players Championship in 2017 and 2018.
Langer is looking to become the first golfer to win three US Senior Open titles. He will have to hold off Parel and Broadhurst if he wants to achieve this feat. Parel shot a four-under-par 68 on Saturday and is only one stroke behind Langer. Broadhurst also shot a 68 and is two strokes behind Langer.
The final round of the US Senior Open will be held on Sunday at SentryWorld Course. It will be an exciting finish as Langer looks to become the first golfer to win three US Senior Open titles. It will also be interesting to see if Parel or Broadhurst can catch up to Langer and challenge him for the title.
