Round Beats Island In Green

Golf Betting Lines

He wasted little time in breaking into red figures with a birdie at the first and a birdie at the par-five fourth. He added another birdie at seven, but dropped a shot a nine, his first bogey since his fourth hole in Friday's second round.

Snedeker reclaimed the lost stroke with a birdie at the 10th, but trouble loomed for the 25-year-old positioned 16th on this year's Nationwide Tour money list.

"All in all, it was a good day," said Snedeker. "I didn't drive it as well today and I paid the consequences for it. But I still putted pretty well and other than a couple of missed clubs, I played well.

Andrew Buckle and Craig Bowden both shot rounds of four-under 68 and are tied for fifth place at nine-under-par 207.

John Merrick, who shared second place after the second round, only managed an even-par 72 on Saturday. He is knotted in seventh place with Chris Parra, who posted a two-under 70 in the third round, at minus-eight.

Following back-to-back wins by Lorena Ochoa, the LPGA Tour is in Asia for the first of three consecutive tournaments on the continent.

The 145-yard, par-three 17th at Amata Spring Country Club is Asia's only island green. Both of the co-leaders escaped with par there in the first round.

Forty-three players in a field of 60 shot par or better Friday while negotiating lakes, rivers and considerable elevation change at the challenging par-72 layout.

Some of them performed better than others.

Virada Nirapathpongporn, an LPGA Tour rookie who grew up in Bangkok, opened with a five-over 77. The second-worst score of the day left Nirapathpongporn alone in 57th place.
