Els has Woods in his sights
Former world number one Ernie Els has set his sights on overhauling Tiger Woods in the next three years, even if it means missing out on a title in the short term.
Els must reel in his compatriot Trevor Immelman over the final 18 holes of the SAA Open at the Humewood Golf Club in Port Elizabeth to win his first tournament of the year. The latter shot a course-record 63 to go into the final round with a three-shot cushion.
"I know what I have to do in the last round and I'm feeling good at the moment," said Els. "If it doesn't happen, then so be it. I have much bigger goals that I am aiming for at the moment, like I want to be number one in the next three years."
Immelman celebrated his 27th birthday with a near flawless round which moved him to 20 under par.
Patrik Sjoland ended the day with a 69, five off the pace, while first-round leader Andrew Raitt was alongside Retief Goosen on 13 under.
Darren Fichardt's 65 moved him into joint sixth place alongside Lee Westwood, who shot his third consecutive 68 for a 12-under total.
