SHANGHAI, China -- Starting the third round with the lead, Fredrik Jacobson kept his mistakes to a minimum, knocked in long birdie putts on consecutive holes and wound up with a 5-under 67 and a two-shot lead. It still wasnt enough to shake a world-class leaderboard at the HSBC Champions. The final World Golf Championship of the year is living up to its billing. "Everyone is going to be pumped up because its a great leaderboard going into the final round," Louis Oosthuizen said. "I think everyone wants that title, so you are going to see some good golf." It already has been a treat in many ways over three rounds at Sheshan International. Jacobson broke by two shots the 54-hole tournament record and was at 16-under 200 as he tries to win for the second time this year. As soft as it has been, this is no time to play conservatively. Two shots behind was Oosthuizen, a British Open champion at St. Andrews, who birdied his last hole for a 68. Joining them in the final group is Adam Scott, a former winner of The Players Championship, Tour Championship and a World Golf Championship. Despite growing controversy of his caddie Steve Williams racial slur about Tiger Woods at a private party, Scott went on a birdie-birdie-eagle finish to salvage a 69 and was only three behind. "A 69 didnt distract me too badly in the end today," Scott said. Right behind them were U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy (65) and former world No. 1 Lee Westwood (67) at 12-under 204, with former U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell (67) and former PGA champion Martin Kaymer (68) another shot back. No other WGC this year has had so many stars on the leaderboard going into the last day. The unknown in all this is Jacobson. His lone PGA Tour win came this year at the Travelers Championship. Kaymer knew little about that win, and not much more about the Swede, when he raised questions about how Jacobson would stand up to the Sunday pressure. "If I play my game, maybe I can put a little pressure on him and make it tougher for him," Kaymer said. Luke Donald can probably breathe a little easier. His wife is expecting their second child, keeping him home from Shanghai. His hopes of winning PGA Tour player of the year depended largely on whether PGA champion Keegan Bradley could add a WGC to his amazing year. Bradley, however, had to settle for a 72 and was seven shots behind. The pressure now shifts to Jacobson. He looked as though he would have a comfortable margin when he knocked in a 30-foot birdie putt on the 13th, then picked up another bonus with a 40-foot birdie putt on the par-5 14th. Jacobson had to settle for four pars coming, while Oosthuizen and Scott made a late run to at least close the gap. "It feels a lot better than playing from behind the rest of the guys because when youre behind you know you have to shoot a low number," Jacobson said. "Leading, Ive still got to shoot a good score, but they will have to catch me. I sometimes feel a little bit stressed if I start off a few shots behind." Oosthuizen started showing some form toward the end of the season, and with more confidence in his putting on such good greens, is close enough to think about winning. Scott remains the curious one for so many reasons. He is trying to join Woods and Phil Mickelson as the only player to win multiple World Golf Championships in the same season, and this has a few similarities to his win at Firestone -- mostly his caddie. Scott shared -- if not lost -- some of the spotlight to Williams that day when his caddie gave a TV interview on the 18th green and called it the "best win of my life." That was a dig at Woods, who officially fired him two weeks earlier, and Williams wanted to tweak him. He did more than that at a caddies award party Friday night, when he was given the "Celebration of the Year" award for that Firestone interview. Asked about his exuberance while getting his award, Williams said, "It was my aim to shove it right up that black a------." Williams apologized to Woods and others who took his remarks as racist by putting out a statement Saturday morning. If there was turbulence for Scott, it came on the front nine when he twice made soft bogeys, then tried to hit a ball out of the creek and left it in the water on the par-5 eighth, leading to double bogey. Scott more than made up for it at the end -- a wedge to tap-in range on the 16th, a five-iron to eight feet for birdie on the 17th, and a wedge that spun back into the cup for eagle on the final hole. "Managed to have a great finish and keep myself in the game for tomorrow, which is good," Scott said. "Because for a while, I was so far away and felt like I wasted the week on a few bad swings." Scott said he was satisfied with Williams apology and had no plans to fire him. Meanwhile, some drama was playing out in the group behind him. McIlroy appears to have had a mild falling out with Westwood. Both were part of International Sports Management until McIlroy abruptly left Chubby Chandlers group a few weeks ago to join the agency that represents McDowell -- who will be the third in their group. Westwood referred to it as a "bizarre decision" by McIlroy, and the 22-year-old from Northern Ireland stopped following Westwood. All this took place on Twitter. They will be with each other for 18 holes on Sunday, along with McIlroys girlfriend -- Caroline Wozniacki, the No. 1 player in womens tennis -- walking inside the ropes as a special guest. cheap nfl jerseys . -- The Detroit Lions have signed first-round draft pick Riley Reiff. cheap jerseys .168 million Western & Southern Open.

Rafael van der Vaart opened the scoring in the 17th minute by meeting Heiko Westermanns cross with a left-footed volley that Raphael Schaefer couldnt keep out. Van der Vaart sent Lasogga through to shoot to the far corner in the 59th, three minutes before the Dutch midfielder sent in a corner for Lasogga to score again from close range at the far post. "You can tell even if its only one game that we can play well," Van der Vaart said. Lasogga intercepted a poor pass from Per Nilsson and shot in off the post to complete his hat-trick in the 67th. "Im happy with the hat-trick, but I think the most important thing was the team performance," said the 21-year-old Lasogga after scoring the quickest away hat-trick in 50 years in the Bundesliga. With the home fans already leaving, Tolgay Arslan rubbed salt in their wounds by returning an attempted clearance from Schaefer for Hamburgs fifth in the 74th. "We didnt play well at the start, we gave the ball away, but then we got the goal and thats how football is -- then we started to play," said Hamburg sporting director Oliver Kreuzer. It was Bert van Marwijks first victory as Hamburg coach since taking over from the sacked Thorsten Fink. "Im only there a week. Ive always said I like offensive football, but there are tactics involved too," the Dutchman said..dddddddddddd Hamburg had started the season with four points from six games. Van Marwijk has as many from his two games in charge. "Five-nil. It doesnt happen every week, but for us its incredibly important so the confidence comes back. With a victory it happens quicker," Van Marwijk said. The result piles the pressure on Nuremberg coach Michael Wiesinger, whose side is in the relegation zone without a win this season. Freiburg is level with Eintracht Braunschweig at the bottom after a 1-1 draw with visiting Eintracht Frankfurt in Sundays late game. Nicolas Hoefler scored with five minutes remaining to rescue the draw for the home side, which conceded through Christian Guenters own goal in the 64th, when an attempted clearance from Oliver Baumann rebounded off the defender. "If you look at our last games you can see were always pushing forward, were playing well. Were just conceding stupid goals," Hoefler said. Both goalkeepers made crucial saves. Baumann was the busier early on, blocking two shots from Vaclav Kadlec and then thwarting Constant Djakpa. Kevin Trapp denied Sebastian Freis in the second half but was powerless to stop Hoefler from close range after a corner. Frankfurts Johannes Flum was sent off for a second booking in the last minute on his first return since switching between the sides. "Freiburg did it really well," Flum said of his former side. "They deserved the point. We should have closed it out in the first half." cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
