Westwood hits record 62 for big lead
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 04 - 12 - 2011

birdie blitz around Gary Player Country Club Saturday for a record 62 and a seven-shot lead after three rounds of the Nedbank Golf Challenge.
The 38-year-old Englishman and world No. 3 did not drop a shot and came close to several eagles in a flawless display of length and accuracy from tee to green and aggressive putting.
Even a 90-minute storm delay at this north-west entertainment resort did not affect Westwood, who had four birdies on the front nine and six on the back to leave Graeme McDowell of Northern Ireland and Swede Robert Karlsson in his wake.
Defending champion Westwood is on 200 — 16 under par — after bettering by one stroke the course record South African Ernie Els, Spaniard Sergio Garcia, Swede Henrik Stenson and American Nick Watney shared.
Overnight leader McDowell (70) and Karlsson (69) are on 207, American Jason Dufner (70) and German Martin Kaymer (70) on 208 and South African Charl Schwartzel (68) and South Korean Kim Kyung-tae (70) two shots further back.
World No. 1 Luke Donald of England fired a two-under 70 for a total of 211 and is too far back off the pace to harbor realistic hopes of snatching the $1.25-million first prize.
Quiros leads HK by 1 shot
Alvaro Quiros of Spain shot a 3-under 67 Saturday to hold a one-shot lead after the third round of the Hong Kong Open, while joint overnight leader Rory McIlroy fell three strokes behind.
Quiros had three birdies in a flawless round for a 10-under total of 200, one shot ahead of Sweden's Peter Hanson, who recovered from an early bogey to shoot 65.
The 28-year-old Quiros shared the lead McIlroy after both of the first two rounds, but the US Open champion needed two late birdies to scramble for a 70.
