Miami - Australia's Geoff Ogilvy
produced two more birdies to finish the rain-affected third
round at the WGC-CA Championship 16 under-par overall but world
number one Tiger Woods slipped down the leaderboard.
Ogilvy has a lead of four shots over a quintet of players
while Woods, who has not lost since September, is tied in
seventh place, five shots off the lead.
Organisers are hoping to complete the competition with the
entire fourth round on Sunday.
Ogilvy's round had been halted as he approached the 12th tee
on Saturday but he picked up where he had left off with birdies
on the 14th, 16th as he posted a four under par 68.
Fiji's Vijay Singh and England's Graeme Storm both posted
outstanding nine-under par rounds of 63 to move ahead of Woods
and into contention at 12 under - four behind Ogilvy.
South African Retief Goosen, who birdied three of the last
four holes, and American Jim Furyk were also tied in second
place along with Australian Adam Scott, who fell back after
bogeying the 17th.
Woods posted an even-par 72 and now has a mammoth task if he
is to maintain his winning streak.
The 32-year-old American has won his last seven tournaments
worldwide and nine of his last 10.
