Johnson grabs lead

TIGER Woods endured a challenging day in gusting winds before finally surrendering his overnight lead to fellow American Zach Johnson in Saturday's third round of the Chevron World Challenge in Thousand Oaks, California.

Three strokes clear of the chasing pack at the halfway point, four-time champion Woods battled to a one-over-par 73 on a sunny but chilly afternoon at Sherwood Club.

Woods bogeyed two of the last six holes for a seven-under total 209, finishing a stroke behind Johnson, who spectacularly eagled the par-four last with a seven-iron from 163 yards for a 68.

First-round leader K.J. Choi of South Korea (72) was alone in third at five under, two shots better than Americans Gary Woodland (70), Hunter Mahan (73) and Matt Kuchar (74).
