Dallas (US), MAY 20

Anirban Lahiri missed a bunch of putts in windy conditions to return a 1-over-72 card as he slipped from tied-20 to tied-42 on the third day of the AT&T Byron Nelson.

Lahiri opened with a birdie but overall had three birdies against four bogeys in his 72 and is now a 6-under 217 for 54 holes.

On a day when the Trinity Forest course played tough and made scoring difficult in windy conditions as gusts touched up to 30 miles per hour, 34-year-old seasoned Marc Leishman (69) shared the lead with 21-year-old Aaron Wise, who was second last week.

They were both at a 17-under 196. The players will go out in groups of three using split tees for the fourth straight day. Lahiri started with a birdie but bogeyed the second and fifth but a birdie on the eighth meant he turned in even. Back-to-back bogeys on the 12th and 13th were followed by a birdie on par-5 14th.

Lahiri had a few three-putters and the conditions made even 10-footers and under very challenging.

A day earlier the cut fell at 4-under when the conditions were good for scoring. Despite tough conditions, Wise and Leishman shot sub-70 rounds and were four clear of the field.

Matt Jones (68) and Kevin Na (69) are four back at 13-under while Jimmy Walker (70) and Brian Gay (72) at 12-under have an outside shot at five back.

Jordan Spieth (71) is at 7-under and 10 shots behind the co-leaders. With the wind going his way, Wise recorded the first 400-plus-yard drive of the week on the ninth hole. 

Baisoya finishes tied-31st 

Henan (China): Honey Baisoya went 1-over par to finish tied-31st on the final day of the $300,000 Asia-Pacific Classic. It was a disappointing show for the youngster, who started the week with a fine 67 and tied-2nd but thereafter shot 73-72-73 to finish at a 3-under 285. S Chikkarangappa (74) totalled a 2-over 290 and ended tied-55th. — Agencies
