Dredge shoots 66 to take 3rd-round lead at Irish Open

Bradley Dredge had seven birdies for a 6-under 66 Saturday to take a one-stroke lead after the third round of the Irish Open. Dredge, who lost to Padraig Harrington in a playoff here last year, overcame a slow start by making six birdies over the last 10 holes to sit at 9-under 207. Richard Finch, who won the New Zealand Open in December, is one shot back after a 65.
