GOLF ROUNDUP \ Saturday's other events

Korea Golf Championship
JEJU, South Korea -- European Ryder Cup player Miguel Angel Jimenez shot a 3-under 69 in windy conditions Saturday to take the third-round lead in the Shinhan Korea Golf Championship, the first PGA Tour-sanctioned Challenge Season event in Asia. Jimenez, coming off a four-victory season on the European tour, had a 2-under 214 total on the Jungmun course. A day after 40-mph wind sent scores soaring, the Spanish star had six birdies and three bogeys in gusts to 25 mph and temperatures in the 50s. American Arron Oberholser, who matched the best round Friday with a 73, was a stroke behind Jimenez after a 70. South Korea's Kevin Na (72) and American Brian Bateman (73) were two shots back at even par. Irish star Padraig Harrington had a 76 to drop five strokes behind at 3 over. South Korea's Yang Eun-yong, the second-round leader at 3-under, shot an 80 to fall to 5 over, and K.J. Choi, the only South Korean player to win on the PGA Tour, was 15 over after a 78. The winner will receive $1 million from the $3.55 million purse.
