IRVING, Texas - With awesome control from tee to green, Sergio Garcia figured his 5-under 65 should have been a little lower, and his two-shot lead at the Byron Nelson Championship a little larger.
Tiger Woods was so wild it's a wonder he didn't shoot higher than 70, and that he's only three shots behind.
Garcia hit every green in regulation and missed only one fairway on the TPC at Las Colinas, taking advantage of another Saturday swoon by Woods to build a two-shot lead over Jerry Kelly.
The 24-year-old Spaniard is playing so well - he hasn't missed a green since the 13th hole of the second round - that it made no difference nine players were within four shots of the lead.
Asked who was the bigger threat - Woods three behind or Vijay Singh four shots back - Garcia smiled.
"Myself," he said. "If I don't beat myself out there, I should be okay."
Garcia, winless on the PGA Tour the past two years while retooling his swing, was at 11-under 199. It was only the second time on the PGA Tour, and fourth time worldwide, he led going into the final round.
"I feel like I should be leading by quite a lot more," said Garcia, who missed seven birdie putts inside 15 feet.
Kelly didn't look comfortable with the driver, but he at least kept it in play during his bogey-free round of 67, putting him in the final group with Garcia. They last played together in the final round of the Masters, where Garcia closed with 66 to finish third.
Woods didn't feel comfortable with any club on the tee box, and he paid for it.
For the second week in a row, Woods let a 36-hole lead slip away quickly. He lost the lead with a three-putt bogey on No. 2.
He was at 8-under 202, along with Deanne Pappas of South Africa after 66.
Singh shot 68, leaving him in a large group at 203 that included Mark O'Meara (70) and Luke Donald. Donald's eagle-birdie-par finish gave him 64, the low round of the day.
Woods had 75 last week at Quail Hollow to go from a two-shot lead to five shots behind. He could do without the excitement.
"Down the fairway, middle of the green," Woods said after his round. "The whole thing is getting it going (today)."
LPGA: Lorena Ochoa shot 5-under 67 to take a one-stroke lead through three rounds of the inaugural Franklin American Mortgage Championship in Franklin, Tenn. Ochoa shared a one-stroke lead with Pat Hurst heading in and took a big step toward her first victory with a seven-birdie, two-bogey round. The 2003 rookie of the year is at 12-under 204. Mi Hyun Kim tied the course record of 64, her lowest round of the year, and was tied with Hurst for second at 11-under 205.
EUROPEAN PGA: Simon Dyson matched his course record with 6-under 66 to extend his lead to six at the Asian Open in Shanghai, China. Greg Norman was disqualified for the second time this year. He sent his tee shot into the water on No. 17, then hit a ball from beside the water when he should have either returned to the tee or gone to the drop zone 60-70 yards behind him. Dyson stood at 15-under 201, with Prayad Marksaeng and Miguel Angel Jimenez at 207.
