Dufner leads the Colonial, Donald at Wentworth, Matt Hill T3 in Charlotte


PGA Tour
Jason Dufner 65 64 66 is at -15. Zach Johnson 64 67 65 is at -14.. They are in a 2 man race for the Colonial title, 7 shots clear of the field. Johnson is the course specialist with his last  15 rounds under 70, including the win in 2010, and Jason Dufner going for his 3rd win in the last 4 weeks.  His ball control right now is simply the best no matter where he is playing, so must be a favourite heading into the US Open at the Olympic Club in mid June, and remember this is the same guy who prior to his win at the Zurich at the end of April was winless in his previous 163 PGA TOUR starts.

He won the Nelson last week of course and the only player to win both PGA Tour events in the Dallas-Fort Worth market in the same year was Hogan in 1946.

The cut fell at +3, Graham DeLaet on that number at 72, 72 +4 just missed it and David Hearn  at 71, 72 shot 65 on Saturday to move up into a T16 at -2

EUROPEAN Tour
England's James Morrison shot a -8 64 to take a 4 shot lead at -12 at the BMW PGA at Wentworth. It was a completly different story on Saturday, he was 17 shots worse at 81 to drop out of contention.

Defending champion Luke Donald 69,has moved into a 2 shot lead at -11 over Justin Rose who also shot 69, -9. Luke, beat Lee Westwood in an epic battle last year on his way to his historic season.

Ernie Els, asked to re design the course in 2010, and winner of 7 World Match Play's on it, was furious at the European Tour and the groundskeeper at Wentworth for not watering the West course enough, especially the greens, some of which he called "unplayable".. It's always the same around here, I beg them to put more water on the course, especially with this east wind blowing all night, and for some reason the groundskeeper and the European our officials disagree with me" Ernie, 70, was T4 at -5.

UPDATE ****
European Tour Chief Executive George O’Grady said: “Ernie Els asked to see me this morning and apologised for his intemperate language following the conclusion of his round yesterday. He stated that he had already apologised to all the individuals concerned and offered a substantial donation to The European Tour Benevolent Trust, which I accepted. The European Tour now consider this matter closed
