Graeme McDowell will take a one-shot lead into the final round of the WGC-HSBC Champions today as a host of top players gather behind ready to capitalise on any slip-up.
In second place, though, is the tournament’s surprise package, Hiroshi Iwata of Japan, and McDowell confessed he knew ‘nothing’ about the man who qualified by finishing third on the Japan Tour order of merit.
“I saw him make one golf swing. I have never actually heard of him,” said McDowell. “No disrespect meant, but frankly I am looking forward to seeing him tomorrow [Sunday].”
Iwata is 33 years old and despite playing his first WGC event, showed few nerves among such exulted company.
Watson and Kaymer are back at nine-under after shooting 69 and 66 respectively.
