NICKLAUS CRUISES TO RECORD

Jack Nicklaus tied three records and broke another Saturday in shooting an 8-under-par 64 to take a three-shot lead after the third round of the $1 million Senior Tournament Players Championship at Dearborn, Mich.

Nicklaus, playing in only his third senior tournament, is at 19-under 197 for the tournament, which shatters the third-round senior record of 16-under set last year by eventual champion Orville Moody.

Nicklaus' 64 tied the tournament and competitive course records set earlier in the day by Larry Ziegler, and the 197 through 54 holes tied a record for a senior event.

In second place is Lee Trevino, the leading money-winner on the Senior PGA Tour, who is keeping Nicklaus from running away with the tournament at the 6,665-yard Dearborn Country Club.

Trevino, playing in the same group with Nicklaus, actually lost ground despite shooting a 6-under 66 for a 54-hole total of 16-under 200. He started the day one shot behind Nicklaus.

Ziegler and Frank Beard are tied for third place at 12-under 204, seven shots behind Nicklaus.
