England’s Gabriella Cowley leads the ISPS Handa World Invitational by one shot ahead of the final round
England’s Gabriella Cowley leads the ISPS Handa World Invitational in Northern Ireland by one stroke as she targets a maiden Ladies European Tour title, with Daniel Brown still six shots clear in the men’s event.
Cowley carded a five-under third-round of 67 to move to six under for the tournament, narrowly ahead of America’s Ryann O’Toole and Germany’s Esther Henseleit on five under with fellow Englishwoman Bronte Law three shots further back on two under at Galgorm Castle Golf Club.
Brown, meanwhile, is on 13 under-par and in a superb position to claim his first DP World Tour title after retaining the six-shot lead he had carved out at the halfway stage in Ballymena with a three-under 67.
The world No 384 began his third round with a bogey five but rebounded immediately with a birdie at the second, reaching the par-four green in two while another group was still on the putting surface.
