Leishman tied for 36th

08 Mar, 2010 04:00 AM
WARRNAMBOOL'S Marc Leishman is tied for 36th at one over after Saturday's third round of the $6.22 million US PGA Honda Classic at Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

Australia's Nathan Green is just three shots off the lead, level with Fiji's Vijay Singh on an eight-under 202 overall, after shooting a three under par 67 on Saturday to surge back into contention for the title.

They're trailing Colombian Camilo Villegas, who also shot a 67 to open up a three-stroke lead going into yesterday's final round.

The New South Welshman opened his round with back-to-back birdies, added birdies at the par-3 seventh and 15th holes and took his only bogey at the 18th.

Villegas, who has not won a tour event since back-to-back 2008 triumphs at the BMW Championship and season-ending Tour Championship, stood on 11-under 199 after 54 holes.

Play continued despite smoke from a controlled burn at a state park 24 kilometres away that was blown across the course, creating a haze that added yet another distraction for players late in the round.
