Elkington in hunt

Ryuji Imada and Troy Matteson lead the field after the third round of the AT&T Classic while Australian Steve Elkington is just four shots off the pace. Imada, though continued his consistent form, with the American carding 69 on the third day to lead the field alongside Matteson at 13-under overall. Matteson&aposs form has been a little bit more up and down as the leader followed up an opening round 70 with 64 in the second round and a 69 on Saturday. The leaders are two strokes ahead of Camilo Villegas (68) and three in front of Matt Kuchar (64), Lee Janzen (67) and Zach Johnson (69). Elkington, meanwhile continued his consistent run at the event so far, carding 67 on the third day to be the best placed Australian at nine-under overall, while Gavin Coles (69) and Mark Hensby (74) seem to be out of contention at five-under and one-under respectively overall.
