Young Japanese Ryo Ishikawa was another International standout, holding a commanding 4-up lead over American Bubba Watson at the 14th.

US veteran Jim Furyk continued his fine form on the last day as he nailed down South African Ernie Els, to a 3-up lead with seven holes played.

Steve Stricker was ahead of Y.E.Yang 2-up through 12.
