Rose leads by 1-stroke in Florida
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 21 - 03 - 2011

TAMPA, Florida: Britain's Justin Rose birdied five of his first seven holes and capped a 65 with a birdie at the last to claim a one-stroke lead after three rounds of the Transitions Championship Saturday.
Rose, who surged up the leaderboard with a back nine of 30 for 65 on Friday, trickled in a downhill five-footer at the 18th to finish his bogey-free round for a 54-hole total of 13-under-par 200.
Brendon de Jonge of Zimbabwe, who shot 66, and American Webb Simpson, who registered his third successive 67, were tied for second on 201 on a another ideal day for scoring at the Copperhead course.
A further stroke back on 11-under par were Americans Gary Woodland (67) and Tour rookie Scott Stallings, who used a hole-in-one at the 214-yard, par-three eighth hole, and two other birdies on par-threes to post 66.
Stallings, who missed the cut in his first five events before finishing tied for 42nd at last week's Puerto Rican Open, used a six iron for his ace.
Red-hot Nick Watney, who won last week's WGC-Cadillac, fired a 65 to bounce back from a second-round 72 and join fellow-Americans Chris Couch, Garrett Willis and Brandt Snedeker on 10-under-par 203.
“I'm definitely riding some momentum,” said Watney, who has finished top 10 of all five events he has played.
“I just feel good with my game and I'm feeling more and more comfortable.”
Stanford ahead
at Founders Cup
Angela Stanford shot her second straight 6-under 66 to open a three-stroke lead over Brittany Lincicome Saturday in the LPGA Founders Cup.
Stanford, the 33-year-old who has four victories in 10 full seasons on the tour, is playing for her own foundation in the charity event at Wildfire Golf Club.
Instead of paying the players, the tournament honoring the 13 tour founders is donating $1 million to charity – half to The LPGA Foundation and its LPGA-USGA Girls Golf program and half to the top-10 finishers' designated charities.
Stanford's foundation provides scholarships for children from families affected by cancer. The winner will receive $200,000 to donate.
The long-hitting Lincicome followed her opening 67 with a 68, holing an 8-foot par putt on No. 18 just before dark.
Mindy Kim birdied the first five holes and finished with a 67 to reach 8-under.
Cristie Kerr was another stroke back after a 68.
Hall of Famer Karrie Webb, the winner three weeks ago in Singapore, shot a 67 in the afternoon to match Seon Hwa Lee (69) and Mina Harigae (70) at 6-under. Webb won the last Phoenix event in 2009 at Papago and also won in 1999 at Moon Valley.
Weather hits Sicily Open
France's Raphael Jacquelin will take a one-shot lead over Briton Anthony Wall into the remaining six holes of the Sicilian Open Monday after a weather-delayed final round Sunday.
Tournament officials were forced to suspend play at 1116 local time (1016 GMT) and the delay lasted for two and a half hours, the European Tour said on its website.
Jacquelin sat on 11-under par through 12 holes when bad light halted play, with playing partner Wall a stroke back and Spain's Jose Manuel Lara on nine under through 15 holes.
A two-under 69 gave Sweden's Joel Sjoholm the clubhouse lead at seven
