SNOQUALMIE, Wash. – A month after meeting in a playoff for the Senior British Open championship, Mark McNulty and Loren Roberts find themselves together again.

Roberts and McNulty each shot a 7-under 65 on Saturday at the TPC Snoqualmie Ridge and share the lead at 11 under after two rounds of the Boeing Classic. The duo will take a two-shot advantage over Bernhard Langer and Mark O’Meara into Sunday’s final round.

It was late July when Roberts and McNulty met in a playoff for the Open title at Sunningdale. On the third playoff hole Roberts finally outlasted McNulty to wrap up his second Senior British Open title.

Now the pair will be in the final group Sunday.

“There are a lot of guys looming right there. We’re going to have to go out and shoot under par tomorrow,” Roberts said. “I think it’s going to be a shootout.”

McNulty spent Friday night on the range, trying to figure out how a sizzling opening nine holes of the tournament got away from him in the first round. McNulty shot a 30 for those first nine holes – the back nine – before struggling with two bogeys and finished with a 4-under 68.

He didn’t make the same mistakes again. McNulty was 4 under on his first nine holes Saturday, then made another four birdies on the back nine. He birdied Nos. 10, 14 and 15, then curled in a long birdie putt on the 16th to share the lowest round of the tournament. His only hiccup was a bogey at the 12th.
