AUSTRALIA's Geoff Ogilvy produced two more birdies to finish the rain-affected third round of the WGC-CA Championship at Doral in Florida on 16-under-par 200 overall, but world No1 Tiger Woods slipped down the leaderboard.
Ogilvy had a lead of four shots over a quintet of players while Woods, who has not lost since September, was tied in seventh place on 205, five shots off the lead. Organisers were hoping to complete the event with the entire fourth round yesterday.
Ogilvy's round had been halted as he approached the 12th tee on Saturday but he picked up where he had left off with birdies on the 14th and 16th as he posted a four under par 68.
Fiji's Vijay Singh and England's Graeme Storm both posted outstanding nine-under par rounds of 63 to move ahead of Woods – who posted an even-par 72 – and into contention at 12-under 204, four behind Ogilvy.
South African Retief Goosen, who birdied three of the last four holes, and American Jim Furyk were also tied in second place along with Australian Adam Scott, who fell back after bogeying the 17th.
