GOLF ROUNDUP : Azinger Still Tied With Couples After Bogey on No. 18 in Miami

Paul Azinger’s last-hole bogey enabled Fred Couples to regain a share of the lead Saturday after the third round of the Doral Open at Miami.

Azinger, who got off to an eagle-birdie start for the second day in a row, held a one-stroke lead but had missed the green on the final hole when the national television cameras ended their coverage for the day.

Azinger finished with a two-under-par 70 and a 54-hole total of 204, 12 under par on Doral’s Blue Monster course.

Couples, who started the blustery day in a tie for the lead, trailed by as many as three strokes on the back nine before Azinger’s misfortune on the final hole restored him to a share of the top.

He, too, shot 70-204.

Mike Reid slipped into contention with birdies on the last three holes, one of the toughest stretches on the PGA Tour. He had a 66 and is one shot back at 205.

It was another two strokes back to Tim Simpson, Bob Tway and Tom Purtzer, tied at 207. Simpson moved up with a 66, Tway shot 68 and Purtzer had a 70 in the occasional showers and gusty winds.

Before the round, Tim Thalmuller, Tom Watson’s caddie, was shot during a robbery when he pulled into the parking lot of a Miami Springs apartment complex, police said. Thalmuller, 32, was listed in serious but stable condition.

Mitzi Edge lost a big lead with four bogeys on the back nine but held a one-stroke lead after three rounds of the Women’s Kemper Open at Wailea, Hawaii.

Edge, who has led since the first round, shot 73 on the par-71, 6,139-yard Wailea Blue Course on Maui and was one under through 54 holes.

Laura Davies and Rosie Jones were at even par.
