Tiger Woods leads Buick Open after

last hole double bogey by Letzig

FROM THE AOL GOLF NEWS SERVICE
A last-hole double bogey from Michael Letzig handed control of the Buick Open to Tiger Woods in Michigan.
World number one and two-time Buick Open winner Woods began Saturday's third round in a tie for fifth place, four shots behind Australia's John Senden, whose second-round 66 had left him topping the halfway leaderboard at 14 under par, two shots clear of American Letzig at the 7,127-yard par-72 Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club in Grand Blanc.
A 71 from Senden allowed Letzig to take charge before a poor greenside bunker shot at 18 led to a 6 on the par-four closing hole for a third-round 68, leaving Woods, who had earlier completed a seven-under 65, with a one-shot lead heading into the final round.
Woods, who rebounded from an opening 71 with a 63 on Friday, will start the fourth round at 17 under par, one clear of Letzig, with Senden at 15 under.
Americans Matt Bettencourt and Vaughn Taylor were tied for fourth at 14 under while compatriots Charles Warren and Jimmy Walker held a share of sixth place with Australian Greg Chalmers at 13 under.
