SINGAPORE, Nov 3 (AP): US Open champion Angel Cabrera shot a 1-under 70 to double his lead to four strokes after the third round of the Singapore Open Saturday.
Cabrera, of Argentina, fired three birdies and two bogeys to finish with a three-day total of 9-under 204 at the $4 million Singapore Open at Sentosa Golf Club.
"I had to work my way around, it was tough, the winds were picking up and the greens are getting very hard," said Cabrera, who made a 25-foot birdie putt at No 17.
"I'm feeling comfortable. I'm hitting the ball well. I've got a four-shot lead, so that's a bit of a cushion for tomorrow."
Four strokes behind in second place was Jin Park of the United States who had three bogeys and one birdie for a 1-over 72 at the remodeled 6,710-yard, par-71 Serapong Course.
Phil Mickelson, who was six strokes off the pace at the start of the round, slipped further down the leaderboard after four bogeys, but got back into a tie for 11th place with birdies on the final two holes for a 2-over 73.
Mickelson's tee shot on the par-3 17th glanced off the flag and rolled 3 feet away from the hole, denying him a hole-in-one. He finished with an even-par 213.
