SHENZHEN, China (AP) -- Boo Weekley and Heath Slocum of the United States held their lead at the World Cup of Golf on Saturday.
The American duo shot a 6-under 66 on Saturday, giving them a one-stroke lead over France (62) and Scotland (66) going into Sunday's final round of the OMEGA World Cup at the Mission Hills Golf Club in southern China.
They're on 20-under 196 and have led by one stroke after all three rounds.
Scores dipped on a warm, sun-drenched Saturday with teams playing the easier fourballs (better-ball) format. Sunday will be tougher playing foursomes (alternate-shot) in what is still a stroke-play event.
South Africa (66) and England (67) were two strokes off the lead. Argentina (64), the Netherlands (65) and Germany (66) were three behind.
Weekley and Slocum said they struggled all day with firm greens, tough pin placements and a swirling wind. In addition, neither made many putts. The exception was Weekley's eagle-3 on No. 3, where he hit a 4-iron to 15 feet and then dropped the uphill putt.
