After a cool gray day on the Sheshan International course in Shanghai Graeme McDowell's lead is reduced to 1 shot. His -1 71 leaves him at 11-under 205, one shot ahead of a little known Japanese player Hiroshi Iwata, who made 15 foot curling birdie putt on the par-5 18th for a 68, and he sits two shots ahead of Martin Kaymer (66) and Bubba Watson (69) -9 207.
Kaymer made nine birdies over the last 12 holes to win the HSBC Champions on this course in 2011. I watched overnight as Kaymer was impressive with seven birdies and he will play in the last group with GMac and Iwata.
Speaking of Iwata, he is 33, a 10 year veteran on the Japan Golf Tour, he only has one win and that came 2 months ago, he admits to being bad tempered with himself, but it hasn't shown yet this week with rounds of 73 65 68.
Bubba didn't make a longish putt all day but birdied 4 of his last 5, while GMac didn't play badly, I think the difference today was the par 5's where he was +1 today opposed to -3 yesterday.
Rickie Fowler (69) is only 3 behind, along with Tim Clark (69), while Ian Poulter had a 72, four shots behind with Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark. (69)
Should be quite a day tomorrow, or in my case (est) later tonight !!
