TAYLOR LEADS FROM CURTIS WITH ONE
ROUND TO GO IN PALMER INVITATIONAL

Ben Curtis, the little-known American who won the Open at Royal St George's in 2003 and then slipped back into obscurity, has a winning chance going into the fourth and final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Golf Club.
Fellow-American Vaughn Taylor leads at eight-under-par 202 with rounds of 64, 71 and 67.
But Curtis is lying clear second, two strokes behind on 204 with scores of 68, 67 and 69.
Overnight leader Rocco Mediate and Englishman Paul Casey, second at the start of the day, were too busy watching each other and slipped down the field, Mediate with a 76 for 207 and Casey on the same mark after a 73.
Tiger Woods and Retief Goosen (South Africa) are also joint 10th on 207.
