Hey there, time traveller!

CARMEL, Ind. — Fred Funk brought some fire to the U.S. Senior Open.
He pumped his fist, raised his arms, kicked his leg and smiled throughout the third round, showing no signs of the painful knee and shoulder injuries that have hindered him much of this season. And he gave no indication Saturday that he’s about to let the injuries derail another quest for a major title.
Funk felt fantastic after shooting a 4-under 68 to take a one-stroke lead over Greg Norman and Joey Sindelar. Funk was at 13 under at Crooked Stick.
“One thing I can’t do is take a practice swing,” Funk said. “As long as I turn the whole way, it takes the stress off the shoulder. So I don’t hit too many punch shots any more.”
Funk has a chance to make amends for last week’s playoff loss at the Senior British Open — if his body and play hold up.
