Retief Goosen and Angel Cabrera were among those tied for first on Saturday going into the final round of the Senior PGA Championship at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland.

It was a gathering of major champions at the top of the leaderboard, with Stewart Cink one stroke back and a group including Padraig Harrington, Vijay Singh and YE Yang two back. The 11 golfers on or close to the lead have combined to win 13 major championships.

Goosen has two US Open championships on his resume and Cabrera one of those to go along with the 2009 Masters. Harrington won the Open in 2007 and 2008 and Cink in 2009, while Singh has two PGA Championship victories and another in the Masters.

That kind of sustained winning over the past few decades certainly helped prepare those guys for windy conditions at Congressional Country Club, which has hosted three U.S. Opens and one PGA Championship.

“A tough golf course – all the guys that have really done it on hard golf courses really rise to the top and seem to grind it out more maybe a little bit more than certain players,” said Goosen, who shot a four-under 68 to surge up the leaderboard. “I certainly grinded it out.”

“I’m happy to be two shots back,” Harrington said. “I haven’t really thought too much about my round, to be honest. Just tried to play. With the wind, sometimes it’s good that you just play each hole as it comes.”

Cink, now 52 joked, “This kind of wind is for young people.” But he and his contemporaries mostly handled it without the third round going off the rails. Ernie Els, who was three-under on Thursday and two back of the lead, had a second consecutive rough round, shooting a four-over 76.
