Oberholser, Weir share lead at Pebble Beach

Arron Oberholser shot a 6-under 66 on Saturday at Pebble Beach for a share of the third-round lead with former Masters champion Mike Weir in the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in California.

Oberholser built his lead with a 20-foot birdie on the par-3 seventh that juts into the Pacific, then hit a 5-iron over the cliff to 25 feet below the cup for a birdie on No. 8. Two years ago, Oberholser was tied for the lead with Vijay Singh going into the final round and shot 76.

"I was a deer in the headlights two years ago," Oberholser said. "I couldn't find any rhythm at all. I was too busy paying attention to him and not enough to what I was doing. And I wasn't enjoying the day."

Weir played at Spyglass Hill, where light fog sifted across fairways and made the temperatures feel even cooler. The Canadian star overcame a sluggish start and settled himself with a par save from a bunker on No. 6, then played bogey-free the rest of the way and finished with a birdie for a 69.

Oberholser and Weir were at 17-under 199, six shots clear of Luke Donald, who had a 71 at Poppy Hills.

Johnnie Walker Classic

Kevin Stadler eagled the par-5 closing hole for the second straight day, holing a 12-foot putt for a 6-under 66 and a two-stroke lead after the third round of the Johnnie Walker Classic in Perth, Australia.

Stadler, the 26-year-old son of 1982 Masters champion Craig Stadler, had a 17-under 199 total on The Vines Resort's Lakes Course. He opened with a 64 and shot a 69 Friday.

Australia's Richard Green (66) and South Korea's K.J. Choi (70) were tied for second, and Australians Gavin Flint (66) and Nick O'Hern (71) were another stroke back at 14 under along with Italy's Francesco Molinari (66).

American Fred Couples was 13 under after a 65. He also eagled the 18th.
