Bill Haas heading for clear lead after three 

rounds at Valspar Championship

At the time of writing (9.45pm UK time), Bill Haas is heading for the lead at the end of the third round of the Valspar Championship at Palm Harbour, Florida.
With three holes  to play in his third round, after earlier scores of 72 and 67 over the tricky par-71 lay-out, Haas is eight under par for the tournament.
Leader in the clubhouse at five-under 208 is Charley Hoffman (69-72-67).
World No 1 Jordan Spieth is steadily making up ground after his opening 76 but he would probably need this to be a five or six-round tournament for him to get to the front before the winning line.
He has completed three rounds in two-under 211 following second and third rounds of 68 and 67.
Sweden's Henrik Stenson is also on 211 with scores of 71, 70 and 70.
England's Ryder Cup tip, Danny Willett, could manage only a par 71 in his third round after earlier scores of 70 and 72.So he is level par 213 and looking like being eight shots behind the leader at the start of Sunday's final round. 
Russell Knox has shot 75, 69 and 70 to be T31 on one-over 214.
That's a shot better than Luke Donald (75-69-71 for T40).
Padraig Harrington is T48 on 216 (74-71-71) while Ian Poulter had a ruinous third-round 75 after a 72 and a 71. Poulter is T61 on 218.
