Home favourite David Hearn leads Canadian Open

Local favourite David Hearn will take a two-stroke lead into the final day of the RBC Canadian Open following a third-round 68 today.

The Canadian managed five birdies in all to finish the day on 15-under-par, two clear of American Bubba Watson, who also shot 68.

Overnight leader Chad Campbell, who shot a 63 on Friday, saw his chances of victory suffer a major dent by carding a round-of-75 as he sits four adrift.

Level with Watson is Australian Jason Day, who continues to put his Open Championship disappointment behind him with a solid 69.

Hearn's fellow Canadian Adam Hadwin sits on eight-under, one clear of Englishman Brian Davis.
