Penge tied for lead in rain-delayed British Masters

Penge and Hillier share the lead in a rain-delayed British Masters at the Belfry. Both golfers are 11 under after five holes of round three, completed before darkness halted play on Friday at 19:57 BST. Play resumes at 07:00 BST on Sunday, with the pair remaining in their round three positions. The tournament was significantly impacted by storms on the opening two days, causing over nine hours of lost play.

Penge, 28, played 32 holes on Friday, shooting an eagle, 10 birdies, and one bogey, ending at 11 under after 14 holes. He returned on Saturday to maintain the halfway lead, one shot ahead of fellow leader Hillier. Penge described his round as a typical roller coaster, but ultimately a positive one. Hillier, 30, is also 11 under after five holes, trailing Penge by a single stroke.
