Mississauga, ON (Sportsbooks) - Alex Coe fired his second straight five- under 65 Saturday to grab a two-stroke lead after three rounds of the Jane Rogers Championship of Mississauga. Coe completed 54 holes at 13-under-par 197. That bettered the 54-hole scoring record by three strokes. Derek Gillespie and Wes Heffernan posted three-round total of 200 in the first year of the event last year. Last week's winner in Montreal, Graham DeLaet, carded a six-under 64 to move into second place at minus-11. Tim Wood (68) is alone in third at nine-under- par 201, while Liam Kendregan is two shots back at minus-seven. Coe opened with a birdie at the first and came back to birdie the fourth to move 10-under at Lakeview Golf Club. He drained back-to-back birdies from the 10th, then notched his fifth and final birdie on the par-five 16th. DeLeat had a bogey-free round of his own. He carded four birdies on the front to go with two on the back nine to move into second place. John Ellis, a three-time winner this season, moved into a tie for fifth at six-under-par 204 with a 66 in the third round. He was joined there by Richard Scott, Jim Seki, D.J. Fiese and Michael Gligic. Second-round leader George Bradford struggled to a five-over 75 to tumble into a share of 13th at four-under-par 206.
