Palm Harbor, Nov 02: Retief Goosen leads by 2 strokes after the third round at the Chrysler Championship
Retief Goosen birdied the 18th hole to cap a four-under-par 67 and build a two-shot lead after three rounds of the Chrysler Championship on Saturday. Briny Baird holds solo second but Fiji's Vijay Singh surged into third another shot back.
Singh, who could clinch the PGA Tour's money title with a victory in this event, made the biggest move of the day when he carded a six-under 65. He began the day trailing the 2002 European Tour's number one Goosen by five shots. South African Goosen had built a three-stroke lead on the back nine, but bogeyed the 13th and 17th holes, each a par three, before making amends at the last.


Tim Petrovic is fourth on 206, one stroke better than Loren Roberts and Jose Cocereso.
