OAKVILLE, Ontario — Anthony Kim made nine birdies and an eagle in 21 holes yesterday in the Canadian Open for a share of the lead with Chez Reavie during the suspended third round at rain-softened Glen Abbey.

Kim, tied for 26th at 4 under through 15 holes when second-round play was suspended Friday night, went birdie-birdie-eagle yesterday morning for a 2-under 69, then added a bogey-free 64 in the third round to match Reavie at 15 under.

"I've put myself in a good position," said Kim, seeking his third victory of the year. "I'm looking forward to the challenge tomorrow."

Reavie was 2 under through 16 holes when darkness ended play for the 26-year-old former Arizona State player in his first PGA Tour season. "We figured we had to play 18 in the morning, so what difference does finishing 17 do."

Honolulu's Parker McLachlin shot a 3-under-par 68 in the third round and is at 7-under 206. Kane'ohe native Dean Wilson, who completed his second round with a 71, missed the cut by two strokes after finishing at 143.

Kim's morning finish gave him a 7-under 29 on the back nine after he played the front nine Friday in 5-over 40. The 23-year-old American played the final nine holes of the second round and first nine holes of the third in 11-under 60.

He birdied the par-5 18th in fading light to tie Reavie.

"It was a pretty long day," Kim said.

Scott McCarron had a 63 — the best round of the week — to get to 12 under. He had 11 birdies, three bogeys — all in the first four holes — and four pars.

Steve Marino (67) also was 12 under, and Billy Mayfair (68) followed at 11 under. Marino birdied the final five holes on the front nine.

Canadian star Mike Weir birdied four of the last five holes for 68 to join to Mark Calcavecchia (67), Sean O'Hair (67) and Nicolas Thompson (70) at 10 under. Two-time defending champion Jim Furyk was 8 under after a 67.

"I'm happy where I'm at," Weir said. "This has been tough for everyone."

Because of the wet conditions, players were allowed to use preferred lies in the fairways for the third straight day.

Reavie played 33 holes in 13 under Friday, shooting 65-64 for a tournament-record matching 13-under 129 total and a three-stroke lead after the completion of the suspended second round yesterday morning.

He made a 15-foot birdie putt on No. 10 to take a three-stroke lead over Kim and Marino at 16 under, but had three bogeys, two birdies and a par on his final six holes to drop back to 15 under.

Bands of rain showers moved in soon after the second round finished, flooding bunkers and fairways. Third-round play was suspended because of lightning at 12:44 p.m., and rain kept the players off the course for 2 hours, 40 minutes.

EVIAN MASTERS

PARK HAS ONE-SHOT LEAD

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France — Angela Park birdied the final three holes for a 4-under 68 yesterday to keep a one-shot lead after the third round.

The 19-year-old Park, who has dual Brazilian and American citizenship, had a total of 14-under 202. Taiwan-born Candie Kung, who also has U.S. citizenship, was one shot back after a 67.

Julie Inkster of the United States, the 2003 champion, was third at 11 under after a 69, her third straight sub-70 round. Sweden's Helen Alfredsson, who trailed Park by one stroke after a course-record 63 Friday, was four shots back in fourth following a 71.

Top-ranked Lorena Ochoa had a 70 to be one of four players tied for seventh place, six shots behind Park.

SENIOR BRITISH OPEN

COOK TAKES LEAD

TROON, Scotland — John Cook took a one-stroke lead, shooting a 4-under 67 to capitalize on the midround collapse of fellow American Bruce Vaughan.

Vaughan birdied the par-3 eighth to take a three-shot lead at 7-under, but then bogeyed four straight and Cook rolled in a 4-foot birdie at 13 for a two-stroke lead at Royal Troon.

The 50-year-old Cook, who was runner-up to Nick Faldo at the British Open at Muirfield 16 years ago, goes into today's final round at 6-under 207, leading Vaughan by one shot.
