England’s Paul Waring has taken big strides on golf’s traditional ‘moving day’ to put himself now very much in contention for a hopeful overall top-three effort heading into the final round of the Texas Childrens Houston Open. Waring had muscled himself on day one into a one stroke lead and while day two didn’t go to plan in posting a one-over 71, the 41-year-old former Abu Dhabi HSBC champ got back into the overtaking lane on day three, posting a four-under 66 to share ...
