European Tour Nedbank Golf Challenge leaderboard http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/season=2016/tournamentid=2015094/leaderboard/index.html#rPW7t3Z6KrYfkfPH.97
It's was so hot today in Sun City, 45*c, the spectators weren't following the players out along the course, preferring to stay in the stands around the air conditioned hospitality tents and clubhouse, many opting for the man made wave pool that is part of this luxurious resort.
To make matters worse, a flu bug has invaded the clubhouse and several of the players are suffering from the effects, in fact Henrik Stenson was so sick he withdrew after nine holes of the Wednesday pro-am after 2 days in bed and only just decided to play on Thursday.
Still be big straight hitting Swede who won here in 2008 continued to lead as they came down to the closing holes of round 3 at this 35th edition of what is now called the Nedbank Golf Challenge. Remember despite being 2nd in 3 of the 4 Fed Ex Cup playoffs he is still looking for his first win of the year.
However after opening rounds of 66 67, he was -2 70 today and at -13 he has been caught and passed by Aussie Marc Leishman who added a strong -6 66 today to his opening 68 68 to get to -14 with a birdie, birdie finish. Remember he lost the playoff to Zach Johnson at the Open Championship this year.
Jaco Van Zyl 72 is third at -10 while Robert Streb 72 is fourth at -9. Those four are 2 shots clear of the pack.
