Third Round Highlights Golf: PGA Championship

and good of golf have all claim the PGA title. The build-up and the

first couple of days here have been dominated by things off the course.

It started as a family reunion, Europe's Ryder Cup people here

together. But there was dancing at the party with clumsy feet.

Explanations and apologies after a thoughtless remark about Tiger

Woods. Finally, the golf began. The weather was fitting. Rory McIlroy

flied high for a while, then crash to Earth. Lee Westwood moved to

Florida to avoid this kind of chill. Friday was bleak midwinter. There

was no chance of a hat-trick for Luke Donald. Francesco Molinari was

leading. Lee Westwood was lacking three shots behind. Garcia was

retaining his composure. On and off the course, the cloud beginning to

temperature today. Lee Westwood has not been back to England since his

move to Florida last October. This was the making of that eagle.

Edoardo Molinari, terrible time with the day so far. Leader on his own

but he needs to hold this to remain under par. Francesco Molinari, Mark

Foster, Marc Warren and Canizares. There is a four way tie for the

lead, seven under at the moment. Mark Foster get the birdie and moves

to age on his own. Three birdies in a row. Four three s in a row. He

moves on to a slightly tougher stretch of the golf course.

Mark Foster leads the way by a shot after a splendid run. The man who

has only played 41st in his years of playing the championship is going

very well as we look down the leaderboard. The likes of James

round, Richie Ramsay. Now let's chat my long game in the last couple of

days. I hit more fairways and better iron shot. I got up and down when I

needed to, which was not very often. It is a sign that your short game

has improved massively, I know you got compliments, Ernie Els saying

you were a wizard around the greens. What advantage does that do to your

confidence? It takes pressure from your long game. You can be more

aggressive, not being afraid to miss shot. On the par five s, you are not

under so much pressure. Obviously sensing a huge amount of support

from the crowds, what has that been like? The crowds have been

fantastic, I get a good reception when I play in England, but even

more so today. I don't know whether they missed me when I was over in

Florida! Fantastic, probably the master Westwood. They put on a good

old show here at the 18th. A little too high. It has been that

sort of day on the greens for him. That was an awkward putt, but three

good rounds. Els, having put his second shot in the water, this is

for par five. Well done, Ernie. A bit of a struggle. Still in the

years ago you were joint leader with Luke Donald. What will you do

differently now you are a much older 20-year-old man! I will be able to

think about my game more. I will focus on it, focus on trying to make

birdies instead of maybe trying to not lose shots. I think that is

something I have learned and something I can bring into tomorrow.

Every day is different. It is not really the same situation. We'll see

what experiences I can bring Never in shot! -- that was for the

outright lead. That made a big, big have nothing to lose. If I play

good, I might get lucky. There are lots of people out there, lots of

people have a chance. It might happen, it might not. Anyway, I will

try to do it myself, see what sixth Spaniard to win this event.

Lee Westwood has twice been a runner-up and is a popular figure

with the big crowds. Manassero and Mark Warren are both only two shot

off the lead. Shane Lowry is also well in touch. Don't discount the

likes of Sergio Garcia rec, the Molinari brothers or anybody in that

big gathering of five under. Some 30 players are stalking Canizares, all

within six shot and bagging -- harbouring hopes of bagging the big

first prize of over �600,000. After we are all done tomorrow, Ernie Els

will be heading north to Scotland in July for the 140 seconds playing of

the open championship. What a list of open champions that venue has

produced. Ernie Els is the most recent, 11 years ago. And he is the

man in possession right now of the is the champion of 2002.

Tense excitement. Well done, Nick then, but we are back tomorrow

evening at experience for the all-important final round at

Wentworth. We started with one Spaniard mating the headlines --
