Wilson takes lead

AUCKLAND, FEB. 12. England's Oliver Wilson carded a 4-under-par 68 on Saturday to lead the 1.5 million (US$1,065,000, euro788,000) New Zealand Golf Open by one stroke leading into the final round.

Wilson, who has yet to win on the European tour, is 17-under after three rounds, one clear of countryman Miles Tunnicliff.

Tunnicliff bogeyed his last two holes to finish with a 70 and a 16-under three-round total of 200. Tunnicliff, who was one of three players to tie the course record with a second-round 63, started the day in second place and seized the lead at 18-under when overnight leader Niclas Fasth faltered.

Fasth shot a 3-over-par 75 to fall off the pace. He led at 16-under after two rounds and has slipped to a three-way tie for fourth place.

Australian Richard Greenwas one of a handful of players who had a bogey-free round on Saturday, carding 69 to finish at 14-under, alone in third. — AP
