Garcia snatches lead
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 28 - 09 - 2008

finishing Sergio Garcia overhauled a stumbling Anthony Kim to forge three strokes clear after the third round of the Tour Championship on Saturday.
Two behind the pace-setting Kim overnight, Spaniard Garcia birdied two of the last four holes for a three-under-par 67 at East Lake Golf Club.
That left Garcia at eight-under 202 and well positioned to clinch his eighth PGA Tour victory in the final event of the Tour's regular season.
Kim, who injured a spectator with an errant drive at the par-five ninth, battled to a 72 for a share of second place at five under with American world number two Phil Mickelson (69).
Colombian Camilo Villegas was a further two strokes back in fourth after returning a 69.
Kim, seeking his third PGA Tour victory of the year, made a promising start to the round with a birdie at the par-four third, rolling in a 22-footer to stretch his lead to three.
However, he bogeyed the par-three sixth after hitting his tee shot into water before his lead was cut to one when Garcia sank a nine-footer to birdie the seventh.
Kim was severely shaken after his wild drive at the ninth struck spectator David Whitfield above the right eye. Whitfield, watching the lead pairing with his wife, fell to the ground and was given medical treatment before being taken away on a stretcher.
Schwartzel sets pace
In England, South African Charl Schwartzel produced a blistering opening run to claim the early third round clubhouse lead in the fog-disrupted British Masters on Saturday.
After fog caused a three-hour delay to the start of the day's play, Schwartzel was among the few competitors able to finish the round before fading light suspended action for the day.
He picked up seven birdies in nine holes to storm to a six-under 66 that set a six-under 210 three-round total, a stroke ahead of the field.
Michael Campbell continued his recent resurgence to sit on top of the leaderboard of the unfinished rounds, sharing top place with Swede Mikael Lundberg and Spaniard Alejandro Canizares, the trio lying seven-under. Holder and early front-runner Lee Westwood was in a group on six-under.
Moodie leads at Navistar
In Alabama, Scotland's Janice Moodie, trying to end a six-year victory drought on the US LPGA Tour, seized a one-shot lead at the Navistar LGPA Classic Friday over world No. 1 Lorena Ochoa. Ochoa nabbed seven birdies en route to a five-under 67 and a 12-under total of 134 in the $1.4 million tournament.
Moodie birdied five of her first nine holes on her way to a five-under 67 for 133.
American Jill McGill fired a three-under 69 to join Ochoa on 134. Michele Redman's superb 65 put her in fourth at nine-under 135, while Song-Hee Kim (68) and Christina Kim (66) were tied for fifth on 136.
Jeong Jang and Jane Park, who shared the overnight lead with McGill on 65, couldn't maintain the momentum. Park fired a 74 and Jang a 76.
