The day ended with Westwood hitting a daring shot with a 6-iron through a gap in the trees for a par on the 18th hole for a 2-under 70 to finish the third round with a one-shot lead, same as he started. H

The Morongo Band of California Mission Indians were disappointed this week when the National Indian Gaming Association laid aside its proposal to block Barney Frank’s federal legislative attempt to legalise and tax online gambling in the United States.

The Morongo, in concert with Californian commercial poker rooms, had hoped to marshall tribal support to halt the Frank bill, clearing the way for it to set up an exclusive legalised Internet poker system within California.
