 Tiger Woods-GNov. 7 - 3:22 am et
Tiger Woods carded a third round of 2-under-par 70 and is two strokes in back of Phil Mickelson at the WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai, China.
Woods played well in his opening holes, and after his third birdie of the round at the 8th hole, he found himself with a two-strokes lead over Phil Mickelson. On the back nine a bogey at the 11th hole dropped him to 12-under-par for the tournament and he stayed there, as Phil Mickelson carded three birdies to take an overnight lead of two strokes. A lot of golf fans will be staying up late on Saturday evening as the World's Number One and Number Two players have a final round showdown in Shanghai for the WGC-HSBC Champions title.
 Phil Mickelson-GNov. 7 - 3:13 am et
Phil Mickelson posted a third round score of 5-under-par 67 and has a two-stroke lead over Tiger Woods and Nick Watney at the WGC-HSBC in Shanghai, China.
On the front nine, Mickelson was 2-under-par, but at the turn he was two-strokes behind Tiger Woods. The back nine saw Mickelson put consecutive birdies on the card starting at the 14th hole to take a one-stroke lead, as Woods sputtered on the closing holes, and a kick-in birdie at the par-5 18th hole expanded his lead out to two strokes. On Sunday, Mickelson will be looking for his third European Tour championship and his second HSBC Champions title.
 Tiger Woods-GNov. 6 - 9:35 am et
Tiger Woods has opened the WGC-HSBC Champions with a pair of 5-under-par 67s and co-leads the event with Nick Watney (64-70).
Woods' nemesis is the par-3 6th hole, which is the site of both of his bogeys thus far. It's already been a headline-filled week for the world's #1, who criticized fans in attendance for failure to observe the prohibition of cameras. Then on Friday, a marketing research company claimed that Woods isn't one of China's 50 most popular foreign athletes. His stock would likely rise with a victory in Asia's first WGC event on Sunday.
 Tiger Woods-GNov. 5 - 3:20 am et
Tiger Woods posted an opening round of 5-under-par 67 and is three strokes off the lead at the WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai, China.
Woods started off on the back nine and at the turn he had put two birdies on the card with no blemishes. On the front nine, he carded three birdies until a bogey at the tough par-3 6th hole, but he got back to 5-under-par for the tournament after a 6-foot birdie-putt at the par-5 8th hole. He currently is in a tie for fifth place, which is three-strokes in back of Nick Watney
 Nick Watney-GNov. 5 - 3:11 am et
Nick Watney carded an opening round of 8-under-par 64 and holds a two-stroke advantage at the WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai, China.
Watney started on the back nine and he made the turn at 6-under-par after posting four birdies and an eagle. He quickly racked up three birdies in his first four holes of the front nine and it looked like not only the course record was going to fall, but he might have a chance of round of 59. Watney then started to par the rest of the holes, until a bogey at the final hole cost him a chance to break the course record and cut his lead down to two strokes.
 Anthony Kim-GNov. 4 - 12:20 pm et
Although eligible, Anthony Kim will not compete in the Dubai World Championship in two weeks.
This event is the culmination of the Race to Dubai, which is the primary reason that Kim and other U.S.-based touring pros joined the European Tour. Instead, Kim is opting to rest after mismanaging his schedule. "I'm not going," said Kim, who will still honor his commitment to the Kiwi Challenge on November 11-12. "I need the week off. My parents want to see their boy ... I was all over the place this year. I didn't do a good job of scheduling. Scheduling is half your job as a pro ... Even if they don't have a Race to Dubai next year, I'm still going to sign up for European Tour membership. There's a different vibe out here, and it's good to experience it. I just need to do a better job with my schedule." Kim will not be replaced in the Euro Tour finale.

 Doug Barron-GNov. 2 - 8:55 pm et
Doug Barron will serve a one-year suspension for violating the PGA Tour's substance abuse policy.
Barron is the first ever to test positive. Details were not released but the program covers recreational drugs as well as performance enhancers. "I would like to apologize for any negative perception of the TOUR or its players resulting from my suspension," Barron said. "I want my fellow TOUR members and the fans to know that I did not intend to gain an unfair competitive advantage or enhance my performance while on TOUR." From the fantasy standpoint, it means zero as Barron hasn't had status on the PGA Tour since 2006 and has never won a tournament. Until now, he was best known for hitting a ball shirtless at the 2006 Chrysler Championship.
