Leishman still in contention

Australian Marc Leishman is four shots off the pace in the Nationwide Tour Championship in Texas after shooting a three-under par 68 on Saturday (US time). The Aussie is tied for sixth place behind Americans Matt Bettencourt and Bryce Molder who shot 63 and 64 respectively in the third round. Fellow Australian Gavin Coles has continued his consistent form in carding a three-under par 68 but remains back in the field at 15th position in what has been a low-scoring affair. Aron Price, Won Joon Lee and Greg Chalmers are at three-under while Jarrod Lyle is one shot further behind.
