Ryder Cup points chaser Chopra leads
Buick Open field by two shots

European Ryder Cup team contender Daniel Chopra, an Indian-born Swede (or is a Swedish-born Indian?), leads the Buick Open field by two shots going into Sunday's final round at Grand Blanc, Michigan.
Chopra holed a 15ft birdie putt at the last for a 68 and a 16-under-par tally of 200.
Winner of the season-opening Mercedes Benz Championship, Daniel has not had a top-30 finish since then. A victory here would seriously improve his chances of making a Ryder Cup debut.
Dudley Hart bogeyed the 18th in the third round at Warwick Hills, making it a two-shot swing in favour of Chopra.
Hart (70), Bubby Watson (68) and Woody Austin (69) are tied for second place on 202.
Second-round leader Bo Van Pelt (73) was another shot back along with Kenny Perry (67).
Chopra was alone atop the leaderboard for the first time at the ninth hole when Hart had his first bogey of the tournament.
Hart pulled back into a tie with Chopra with a birdie at 16, where he got off to a good start with a 308-yard drive in the middle of the fairway. An errant drive set up trouble at 18, though, and he would've had to make a 31-foot putt just to stay within a stroke.
Van Pelt closed the front nine at 3 over after going from one sand trap to another to card a double bogey at the ninth hole. He got back into contention with two birdies in a four-hole stretch, pulling within two shots.
Chopra was wild off the tee -- hitting just three of 14 fairways -- but recovered well enough to hit 13 of 18 greens.
When he didn't stick an approach, such as at No. 4 -- when his approach rolled off the green and under a camping chair -- his touch with a wedge was sharp enough to help him scramble for par.
The sixth hole seemed to be a pivotal hole for the final threesome of Chopra, Hart and Van Pelt.
Hart chipped in from 60 feet for birdie to take the lead at 14 under, then Chopra's 15-foot birdie putt kept him within a stroke before Van Pelt blew a chance to regain a share of the lead by pulling a 5-footer.
Jim Furyk (No 12), Justin Leonard (No 23) and Perry (No 17) are the only players among the top 30 world rankings in the field at Warwick Hills. Just nine of the top 50 are competing.
US Open runner-up Rocco Mediate (67) is 9 under for the tournament and says he's too tired to stay in Michigan on Monday to play in the British Open qualifier.
