Who's hot, who's not

Sunday, April 08, 2007

WHO'S HOT

Retief Goosen

Goosen posted the best round Saturday, a 2-under-par 70, that vaulted him into contention.

The cold, blustery conditions didn't prevent him from making three birdies on the front nine en route to 34. On the back nine, a bogey on the 18th prevented him from being the only player to shoot in the 60s in the third round.

"I think I might have moved up a few spots, but I don't know," said Goosen, who moved from a tie for last to a tie for ninth.

WHO'S NOT

Geoff Ogilvy

Ogilvy, the reigning U.S. Open champion, would have been in good shape to win a green jacket if not for his collapse over the final four holes.

The Australian unraveled at the par-5 15th, where he hit two balls into the pond and took a quadruple-bogey nine. He followed that up with bogeys on the final three holes for 81, which left him at 226, eight shots behind countryman Stuart Appleby.

Ogilvy did make an eagle on the par-5 13th for his lone bright spot Saturday.

WILD CARD

David Toms

Toms continued his up-and-down play with a third-round 74.

He is still in contention but could have been a lot closer than four shots from the lead.

He birdied Nos. 2, 6 and 7 on the front nine. His lone bogey on that side came at No. 4.

On the second nine, though, he made five bogeys and only one birdie to shoot 4-over 40 in the windy conditions.

"I got back in it on the front and then couldn't pick a club on (the) back nine (with the wind)," Toms said.
