Spain's Sergio Garcia picked up four shots over the last five holes to claim a share of a one-stroke second-round lead with Swede Henrik Stenson at the rain-disrupted HSBC Champions on Saturday. After Friday's washout, the skies finally cleared and offered hope that the players might still be able to play the full 72 holes, even if, as organizers have confirmed, the fourth round will have to be completed on Monday. Garcia, who could overhaul Phil Mickelson as world No. 2 with a win here, carded a four-under 68 to go 10-under for the tournament but first round leader Stenson also birdied the last for a 69 to share the lead. Defending champion Mickelson dropped a shot at the short 17th and was inches wide with a 10-foot putt at the last but remains very much in contention after a 70 left him with a share of fifth with Briton Graeme McDowell, two shots off the pace. Australia's Geoff Ogilvy, who had a flawless 65, and British Ryder Cup player Oliver Wilson, who shot a 68, were tied for the lead on nine under before Garcia and Stenson picked up shots at the last. Verplank shares lead Scott Verplank bogeyed the final hole to surrender the outright lead to playing partner Steve Marino in Saturday's third round of the Disney Classic at Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Three ahead of the chasing pack overnight, American Verplank pulled his approach at the last into a greenside bunker before missing a 12-footer for par. His bogey five gave him a three-under 69 on another day of ideal scoring at the Walt Disney World Resort and a 19-under total of 197. Marino maintained his bogey-free run this week by shooting a six-birdie 66 on the Magnolia layout. Like compatriot Verplank, he ended up in a bunker with his approach at the last but managed to get up and down to save par to hold a share of the 54-hole lead. Tour veteran Davis Love III fired the best round of the day with a sparkling 64 to lie joint third with fellow American Scott Sterling (66) at 17 under. Canadian Stephen Ames, winner of last year's title, returned a 69 to end the day eight strokes off the lead. – Reuters __
