Golf: Westwood, Ogilvy charge in US PGA

Rookie Luke Guthrie is in only his ninth PGA event.

PALM BEACH GARDENS: England’s Lee Westwood and Australian Geoff Ogilvy charged into contention at the US PGA Honda Classic on Saturday but an unheralded pair of Americans clung to the 54-hole lead.

Rookie Luke Guthrie, in only his ninth PGA event, and Michael Thompson each stood on eight-under par 202 after the third round of the $6 million tournament with Westwood and Ogilvy both two strokes off the pace.

“I’m in a pretty good place, I think,” said Ogilvy. Meanwhile, world number two Tiger Woods fired a 70 for the third day in a row.
