Goosen leads Portugal Masters by one from

Molinari with one round to go at Vilamoura

FROM THE AOL GOLF NEWS SERVICE
Retief Goosen, unable to win a match at last week's Presidents Cup, leads the Portugal Masters with a round to play in Vilamoura.
The 40-year-old South African, chasing his first European Tour victory for more than two and a half years, fired a second successive 64 to move from three behind Italian Francesco Molinari to one in front.
That included pitching in for eagle at the second and chipping in for birdie at the 15th, just the sort of stuff International captain Greg Norman would have been hoping for against the Americans in San Francisco.
Goosen had three defeats and a half there and was even left out of one session, but now he is on course for a first prize of nearly £458,000 at Oceanico Vilamoura.

He is also the first man in Europe this season to reach 20 under after 54 holes.
Lee Westwood lies third on 17 under after a two-birdie finish gave him a 66, and second place will almost certainly be good enough to take him top of the European money list come Sunday evening.
Rory McIlroy, who took over the number one spot at St Andrews less than two weeks ago, is down in 53rd place and admits he is powerless to prevent his stablemate going above him.
But Westwood mimicked Seve Ballesteros when he said: "Second eez is no good.
"That's what Billy (his caddie Billy Foster) keeps telling me. It's what Seve always said to him when they were together.
"I'm not even thinking about the money list. I'm just trying to win the Portugal Masters, and that's hard enough."
