VIRGINIA WATER, England -- Thomas Bjorn birdied seven of his last eight holes Saturday to grab a five-shot lead after the third round of the BMW PGA Championship. The 43-year old Dane fought back from a double bogey on the first hole by making six straight birdies from the 11th and then adding another one at the last for a 5-under 67. His 15-under total of 201 put him five shots clear of Luke Donald at the European Tours flagship event at Wentworth. Donald, a two-time former BMW PGA winner, birdied his closing two holes for a 68. Irelands Shane Lowry shared the overnight lead with Bjorn but shot a 73 to sit another shot back in third. Rory McIlroy was in a tie for fourth after a 69, seven shots behind Bjorn. Bjorn is competing in the event for the 17th time, but publicly disagreed with changes to the famed Surrey course in 2010 and skipped the event the following year. He returned in in 2012 to finish 37th and then further down the board in 40th place last year. "Im starting to warm to this place," Bjorn said. "But after the double at the first it was just a question of trying to hang in and trying to get the best out of it and just see if you can roll in a few putts here and there. That happened, and probably a bit in excess on the back nine." A win would earn Bjorn one of the biggest prize cheques of his career US$1.059 million, and would also cement his place in Septembers European Ryder Cup team and a first appearance in 12 years since being a member of the victorious 2002 team. The start of play was delayed by three hours because of a rain-soaked course that saw a lot of players struggle early. McIlroy also had a double bogey on the first hole, before recovering with five birdies the rest of the way. And the double major winner hasnt given up hope of catching Bjorn. "Ive had big leads and let them slip, and come from behind and won, so theres a lot of ways to win," McIlroy said. "There is still 18 holes of golf to go, but Im going to need something very special." Robert Hagg Flyers Jersey . Brandon Morrow allowed five runs on six hits over three innings.

Oskar Lindblom Flyers Jersey . They are back to a game above .500 on the year and back to .500 on the road. It was their 10th extra time game of the year, and only the second one that did not got to a shootout. Travis Konecny Jersey . The Oilers jumped into the free agent market early by signing defencemen Keith Aulie (six-foot-six, 228 pounds) and Mark Fayne (6-3, 210 pounds) and left-winger Benoit Pouliot (6-3, 197-pounds). Two days earlier MacTavish traded lightweight forward Sam Gagner to Tampa Bay for 6-3, 203-pound right winger Ted Purcell.Mahela Jayawardena believes that England should consider moving Ben Stokes up to No 3 in their batting order ahead of their tours of India and Bangladesh this winter. The 25-year-old all-rounder is currently out with a knee injury sustained in the first Test of the three-match Investec series with Sri Lanka, but is expected to be fit in time for the second of Englands four Tests against Pakistan this summer.Jayawardena thinks Joe Root would be Englands best option at three with Nick Compton struggling for form, but with the vice-captain happy at four, the Sri Lankan argues that bumping Stokes up from No 6 could be the way to go. Joe Root is another option to bat at three for England Ideally, it would be Root [at No 3] but he likes to bat at four, Jayawardena told Sky Sports. I can understand that with the conditions in England and the ball doing a bit early.If hes happyy there and scoring runs then why would you want to change that against his wishes?I like the idea of putting Ben Stokes up at three - he can get the winter and come in and play some shots when the ball is harder in the sub-continent against slower bowlers.ddddddddddddPromoting Stokes has the added benefit of enabling England to bring in a second spinner to play on the turning tracks of the sub-continent, according to Jayawardena. It also gives you balance in the team, you could bring someone else into the middle-order and play the extra spinner because you still have Stokes as a bowling option, he said.It is purely on a tactical basis, its probably not a permanent solution but he bats well in good conditions so he could be your No 3 going forward.Who do YOU think should bat at No 3 for England in Test matches?
