Cink leads PODS Championship after third round

Stewart Cink is in line to win the fifth PGA Tour title of his career after firing a 69 to take a two shot lead after the third round of the PODS Championship in Florida. The American has not tasted victory for an astonishing 86 events, but in challenging conditions Cink's three-round total of 208 is the highest ever to lead the tournament.

Cink's lead is two over Geoff Ogilvy, who also recorded a 69 for the day, although Brandt Snedeker and Billy Mayfair are level with Ogilvy and still have three holes left to play after bad light ended their days early.

The day was dominated by high winds, though, that regularly pushed past 35mph.

And while Cink is favourite going into the final round the leader has only won one tournament that he has led going into the final day, compared to eight that have seen him fall at the final hurdle.

But he was upbeat: "I've got to keep pushing," Cink said. "My goal is to give no one a chance tomorrow."
