Branshaw on the brink in Mississippi 

Sunday, 30 September 2007 20:03

David Branshaw is on the verge of landing a maiden PGA Tour title after opening up a two-shot lead after the third round of the Viking Classic on Saturday.

Overnight leader Branshaw signed for a three-under-par 69 to extend his lead over the field and move onto 13-under overall, with Bill Haas his nearest challenger.

Branshaw, 190th on the tour money list, has missed the cut in 17 of 24 starts and has failed to secure a top-ten finish this season, but claimed 13th place at Turning Stone last week.
