Golf: Watson moves three strokes clear

DORAL: American Bubba Watson opened up a three-shot lead after the third round of the WGC Championship by posting a five-under par 67. Left-hander Watson moved to 17-under for the tournament with England’s Justin Rose, who shot a 69, and American Keegan Bradley, who made 66, tied for second at 14-under. Meanwhile, Tiger Woods (68) and world number one Rory McIlroy (65) moved up the leader-board and ended the day eight shots behind Watson, tied for eighth. McIlroy shot a superb six-under 30 on the front nine but then made bogeys on the 14th and 16th holes to end with a seven-under round.
