None of the Australasian contingent made any impact in the third round of the Children&aposs Miracle Network Classic in Florida as Scott Verplank and Steve Marino established a two-shot buffer heading into the last day. A final-hole bogey saw Verplank lose the outright lead, the 44-year-old finishing with a three-under-par 69. Verplank, who is seeking his sixth PGA Tour victory and first since last year&aposs Byron Nelson Championship, held a three-stroke lead over Marino and Troy Matteson after firing consecutive eight-under 64s. But he had a tougher time making birdies on Saturday, especially on the back nine. He was three-under at the turn after consecutive birdies and added his fourth birdie of the day at the 11th for the lead before his bogey at the last. He was joined on 19-under-par 197 by Marino, who shot a bogey-free 66 that featured three birdies on each nine. Verplank and Marino have a two-stroke cushion over Davis Love III (64) and Scott Sterling (66) in the final US PGA Tour tournament of the year which is being played on the Magnolia and Palm courses at Walt Disney World. Matteson (69), Tommy Gainey (66) and Robert Garrigus (68) are tied for fifth on 16-under. New Zealand&aposs Tim Wilkinson (72) and Aussie Matt Jones (72) are tied for 30th place at 10-under, while Jason Day and Robert Allenby are two shots further back in a share of 40th.
