Casey cements lead going into final round
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 24 - 05 - 2009

Paul Casey has a Wentworth double in his sights after finishing the third round of the BMW PGA Championship top of the leaderboard.
Not since Colin Montgomerie in 1999 has any player won both the BMW PGA Championship and the World Matchplay title at the Surrey venue.
But Casey, who won the Matchplay in 2006 with a record 10 and eight winning margin over Shaun Micheel, goes into Sunday's final round with a three-shot lead over Dane Soren Kjeldsen.
Casey, who has already won on the European Tour in Abu Dhabi earlier this year and recently recorded his first US PGA Tour victory in the Houston Open, will move to third in the world behind Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson should he win the 750,000 pounds first prize.
Kjeldsen completed a third-round 68 with a magnificent birdie at the 18th, playing an awkward bunker shot and then sinking a 25-foot birdie putt.
A shot further back from the Dane is young Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy, who if he should triumph at the age of 20 years and 20 days would be the youngest ever PGA Championship title winner.
Four birdies in the opening six holes put Scotland's Colin Montgomerie in a promising position to move top of the leaderboard, but three bogeys in four holes on the back nine gave him a three-under-par 69 to leave him five under overall, way behind Casey.
Sabbatini, Mallinger ahead
At Irving, Texas, Rory Sabbatini and John Mallinger are set to play the final round together after finishing atop the Byron Nelson Championship again on Saturday.
The second-round co-leaders shot 5-under 65s to retain the lead after three rounds. They are at 13-under 197 and two strokes ahead of three other players.
Dustin Johnson had a 66 and struggled after going 6 under through eight holes. He was in the group at 11 under with Brian Davis and D.A. Points.
It was the second consecutive 65 for Mallinger, though much different from Friday's round when he had two eagles, four birdies and three bogeys.
Kevin Streelman (64), Glen Day (65) and Briny Baird (67), who was 5 under through seven holes before three bogeys in a five-hole stretch, were at 10-under 200.
Miyazato, Kang share lead
Japan's Mika Miyazato fired eight birdies and an eagle for a 10-under-par 62 on Saturday to match South Korea's Kang Soo-yun for the lead after the third round of the LPGA Corning Classic.
Miyazato's bogey-free run left her and Kang level atop the leaderboard after 54 holes at 17-under-par 199, one stroke ahead of Taiwan's Yani Tseng, who also had a 62 Saturday in the farewell edition of the the 1.5 million-dollar event.
Finland's Minea Blomqvist was fourth on 201 after a third-round 66. France's Karine Icher, who led after 36 holes, fired a two-over 74 and fell to a share of 17th on 204.
South Korea's Eunjung Yi made three eagles in her first five holes Saturday.
