PGA TOUR Love maintains big lead at The International event

The Tour veteran has a 10-point lead over John Rollins.
CASTLE ROCK, Colo. (AP) -- Davis Love III played steady, conservative golf to maintain his 10-point lead Saturday in The International.
Using long irons off most tees, Love avoided trouble in his 5-point round, increasing his total to 41 points under the modified Stableford scoring system used in this event.
Love, who began the day with 36 points and a 10-point lead, had three birdies and one bogey. His lead was up to 11 points, and never less than 8.
John Rollins also earned 5 points and remained in second place with 31 points. Vijay Singh was third with 28 after a 9-point round.
Chris DiMarco and Retief Goosen each had 26 points, and Phil Mickelson had an up-and-down round to finish at 23. J.J. Henry was at 22, and Charles Howell III had 21.
Modified Stableford system
The scoring system gives players 8 points for a double eagle, 5 points for an eagle, 2 points for birdie, zero for par, minus-1 for bogey and minus-3 for double bogey or worse. Rich Beem won last year with a four-round total of 44 points, including 19 on Sunday.
The field, cut after 36 holes, was trimmed again to the low 36 players and ties for today's final round.
Rollins birdied the first hole, cutting Love's lead to 8 points. But Rollins then bogeyed No. 4 and Love birdied No. 5, pushing the lead to 11 points.
When Rollins bogeyed No. 7, he slipped back into a tie for second place with Singh, who birdied four of his first seven holes to get to 26 points.
Rollins birdied No. 8, but Love made a 6-foot birdie putt at No. 9 and made the turn with an 11-point advantage.
Both players birdied No. 10 with short putts, and Rollins cut the lead to 9 points with an 8-foot birdie putt on the par-5 14th hole, while Love chipped poorly and settled for par.
Love and Rollins squandered birdie opportunities at the short par-5 17th hole, missing the green with their iron shots and making pars.
Saves par twice
Love, who had saved par from the sand at No. 13, did so again on the 18th hole, making an uphill 4-footer. Meanwhile, Rollins three-putted, missing a curling 3-footer and taking bogey.
Mickelson made an early move, getting to 23 points through three holes. But he double-bogeyed Nos. 4 and 5 and needed four birdies on the back nine to recover.
