Filip Chytil Jersey .Coming off the United States Ryder Cup victory on Sunday in Minnesota, Snedeker had three birdies and a bogey to reach 12-under 204 on the Vijay Singh-designed layout. He opened with a 69 and shot a 64 on Friday.It was a tough day. I did a great job of hanging in there, Snedeker said. I hit the ball really well off the tee, with one exception, and put the ball where I needed to all day. I hit a bunch of great putts that didnt want to go in today for whatever reason.Australias Anthony Houston was second after a 73, and fellow countryman Matthew Giles, the second-round leader, was 8 under after a 75. New Zealands Gareth Paddison followed his course-record 64 with a 69 to join Australias?Mike Hendry?(68) at 7 under.Snedeker parred the first eight holes, birdied the par-4 ninth and added another on the par-4 14th. He dropped a stroke on the par-4 16th -- ending his bogey-free streak at 49 holes -- and rebounded with an up-and-down birdie on the short par-5 17th.Starting the day out, if youd have told me Id shoot a couple under, I probably would have taken it, tough as the conditions are and as many big numbers are out there, he said. Ive given myself a chance, and going into tomorrow, I need to finish it off. A three-shot lead in wind like this is one hole, so I need to go out there and play a solid round of golf, like I did today.Ranked 23rd in the world, Snedeker, 35, won at Torrey Pines in February for his eighth PGA Tour title. He is trying to win his first international title in the event sanctioned by European, Australasian and Asian tours.Well see what the weather looks like, Snedeker said about the final round. Hopefully, we get a good day forecast, go out there and make some birdies, and shoot something low.Singh was tied for 36th at 1 over after a 72. The 53-year-old Fijian is a three-time major champion.Boo Weekley was even par after a 75, and fellow American Heath Slocum was 2 over, also after a 75.

HUNGARY, Budapest -- Lewis Hamilton has called for clarification over yellow flag rules after Nico Rosberg set his pole position time under double-waved yellows at the Hungarian Grand Prix.Nearly four hours after qualifying finished, Rosberg was called to the stewards over an alleged failure to slow for yellow flags in the second sector of the lap that secured him pole position. Hamilton came across the same double-waved yellows before Rosberg and aborted his lap as he came across Fernando Alonsos spun McLaren at Turn 9.By the time Rosberg came through, Alonsos car had moved and the double-waved yellows cleared just before he entered Turn 9. However, under the FIAs International Sporting Code, double-waved yellows require drivers to reduce speed significantly, do not overtake, and be prepared to change direction or stop.Speaking before the stewards investigation was announced, Hamilton said the subject needed clarification.Well yes, when it is a yellow flag it says that you have to be prepared to slow down or you have to slow down and lose some time, he said. When it is a double yellow it says be prepared for a car or marshal on track because you dont know what is around the corner so you have to be prepared to stop, that is what it says.The clarification that is needed is... Nico only lost a tenth at the corner so if that is really what we are allowed to do in future for the likes of even if you lift when you approach a corner with due care if that is allowed on a double yellow, I thought that was the case in a single yellow, but on a double I thought you had to pay more caution to it.
Wayne Gretzky Rangers Jersey. If it is only a tenth you have to lose that is now different for us drivers and we can approach it differently. But Im sure not that is the safest approach.Weve seen such incidents in the past. I seem to remember [Pastor] Maldonado nearly hitting a marshal at Monaco one time because he hadnt slowed down enough and there was a marshal on the track.Hamilton said he was in no doubt that he had to lift off the throttle and abandon his lap when he encountered the double-waved yellows.Just more clarification would be good. For me there was no question I had to lift because Fernando was on track but perhaps for Nico I think Fernando had cleared but there were still flags. It is just a different scenario. Otherwise it is what it is and I will fight from where I am.Rosberg was eventually allowed to keep pole after the stewards found he lifted sufficiently at Turn 8.? ' ' '
