ZACH'S LAST-HOLE EAGLE TAKES LEAD FROM TIGER

Tiger Woods started the third round of the Chevron World Challenge with a three-shot lead but bogeys at the long second, the sixth and the short eighth have nullified most of his day's birdies so far - at the first, fourth, 10th and long 11th.
Woods, at the time of writing, is nine under par for the tournament.
Zach Johnson has narrowed the gap to one shot. He's eight under par with four to play.
It's been a good day for the Brits!
Paul Casey, who started the tournament with a 79, has shot 68-67 since then and has posted the clubhouse target of 214.
Martin Laird also started poorly with a 77 but he has gone 74-66 since to be on 217 after three rounds.

LATER NEWS FROM THE BBC SPORTS WEBSITE:
Zach Johnson holed from 163 yards for an eagle at the 18th to take a one-shot lead over Tiger Woods into Sunday's final round of the Chevron World Challenge.
Former Masters champion Johnson carded a 68 for eight under overall while Woods had a mixed round, carding four birdies and five bogeys in a 73.
South Korea's K J Choi is third on five under after a level-par round of 72.
England's Paul Casey is two under after a 67 while Scotland's Martin Laird is one over after a magnificent 66.
Johnson was one shot behind tournament host Woods before he holed out with a seven iron at the last.
Woods had three bogeys on the par fives to lose his lead, but he is still in a good position to win for the first time in two years.
