Chopra leads

LAS VEGAS: Daniel Chopra grabbed the clubhouse lead in the suspended Frys.com Open on Saturday, but Charley Hoffman was in hot pursuit of the Sweden-born Indian when darkness halted play.

Hoffman was six-under through 14 holes when play was suspended, putting him 17-under for the $4 million tournament.

Jeev at tied 21st

Jeev Milkha Singh failed to stop a further slide as he shot a second successive three-over 74 and finished tied 21st in the Japan Open golf championships.

It was one of the rare finishes outside top-10 on Japan Tour for him this season. Paul Sheehan of Australia grabbed the title with a final round of even-par 71 and he was seven-under 277 for four day to take the top prize.

Arjun at tied 28th

Arjun Singh was unable to capitalise on a good mid-round display as he dropped three shots on the last two holes and slipped to one-over for tied 28th finish at the $300,000 Volkaswagen Masters golf tournament in Sanya.

Retief Goosen retained the title by three strokes after a one-under-par 71. — Agencies
