Retief Goosen extends lead in California

By , Reporter
Retief Goosen moves two shots clear heading into the final day of the Northern Trust Open in California.

Retief Goosen has extended his lead at the Northern Trust Open following a third-round 69 at Rivera Country Club.

The 46-year-old, who has set the pace since carding a first-round 66, had looked poised to run away with the tournament after reaching the turn in three-under par.

However, the South African veteran had a mixed back nine with four more birdies, but five bogeys to finish the day at eight-under par, two clear of Canadian Graham DeLaet.

Sang-Moon Bae moved into a tie for third after a round of 66, while Sergio Garcia joined the Korean on five under after shooting 68 for his 18 holes.

First round joint-leader Vijay Singh fought back into contention after carding a 69. The Fijian is four strokes behind Goosen.
