Oosthuizen holds Texas lead

Louis Oosthuizen recovered from a torrid start to his third round to take the lead at the Shell Houston Open.

The South African made a poor start to his round on Saturday, with the 2010 Open champion recording two bogeys in each of his first two holes of the day.
However, Oosthuizen managed to keep his composure in Texas and was able to score eight birdies in the penultimate round of the competition to go top of the leaderboard.
The 29-year-old currently holds a two-shot lead over Hunter Mahan and is determined to finish the job on Sunday, in the last event before he heads off to Augusta next week for the Masters.
Oosthuizen admitted it was a difficult start to his third round but was happy with how he reacted to the early set-back. He said: "I had to compose myself, other than that, I hit it well and started making a few putts on the back nine.
"I was driving it well, my iron play the whole week has been really good and I just made some good putts. "The greens here are really fast, which I enjoy. If it's not windy here, you feel like there are a lot of birdies out there."

Manassero feeling confident

 Italian teenager has eyes on home-soil victory


Matteo-Manassero-hits-64-2012_2734116.jpg (800×600)



Matteo Manassero says he is in great shape to win his first European Tour title for almost 12 months, when he tees-up in this week's Sicilian Open at Verdura.
The 18-year-old Italian arrives on home soil in good form after his runner-up finish in Andalucia two weeks ago was followed by a tie-for-sixth in Morocco on Sunday.
Manassero, a winner of two Tour titles - the second of these in Malaysia last year - would have qualified for next month's Masters had he won last week but admits he is not too disappointed at missing out.
He told the European Tour's website: "I don't feel like I have missed out on Augusta. I don't have any sadness about not going there because I have a great chance to win in Italy this week.
"And that would be a great achievement. I think everybody would love to win in their home country and I am the same."
As for his chances this weekend, he added: "Last week was a great week and I played some great golf but I made too many bogeys in the final round and Michael (Hoey) played so well that it wasn't to be my week.
"But I have played great in my last two tournaments, so the confidence is there and I feel good about my game, and I am really looking forward to Sicily now."

McDowell: McIlroy the best

Fellow Ulsterman praises amazing talent

http://img.skysports.com/11/06/660x350/Graeme_2611809.jpg 

Graeme McDowell congratulated Rory McIlroy for becoming No.1 in the world, saying: "He's the best player I've ever seen." 

McIlroy, golf's man of the moment, held off a challenge from the sport's last big star, Tiger Woods, to win the Honda Classic in Florida and replace Luke Donald at the top of the rankings.

Woods carded an eight-under-par 62 but, coming from nine behind, it was not enough to stop McIlroy.
"He deserves it," said fellow Northern Irishman McDowell. "I think he's the best player on the planet right now.
"He's the best player I've ever seen tee-to-green, period. I didn't have a chance to play with Tiger early-to-mid-2000s when Tiger was the man, but Rory McIlroy is the best player I've ever seen." - http://www1.skysports.com/
