Goosen holed five birdies to move into the Shanghai lead

Retief Goosen hauled himself into a one-shot lead after the third round of the Champions tournament in Shanghai.

The South African is 12 under par with Korean Yang Yong-Eun one shot behind after he produced a 67, the best round of the day.

Goosen's playing partners, overnight leader Jyoti Randhawa and Tiger Woods, are third and joint fifth respectively.

Scot Marc Warren remains in contention in fourth while England's Paul Casey improved to join Woods on seven under.

Casey's chances were hit on day one when he finished one over but the World Match Play champion is confident he can now mount a serious challenge.

"Looking at the leaderboard now I am back in the hunt," said Casey.

"I like this course. It is challenging, which is sorting the men from the boys."

Goosen played a solid round, making five birdies and dropping two shots for a 69, despite battling against a strong wind which buffeted many of the players.

"It wasn't easy out there," said Goosen, the world number six. "Into the wind the ball just went nowhere.

"I would have thought one-under would have been a good round but to shoot three-under, I'm very happy."

After a brilliant second round, Woods went backwards, mixing an eagle on the 2nd with two birdies, three bogeys and a double bogey at the 7th to finish with a 73.

The world number one struggled off the tee and ended his round with two bogeys as he finished by finding the water at the last.

"As good as it was yesterday, it was as bad today," Woods said.

"The last two holes I put myself on my back. I will have to shoot a great round on Sunday and hope that's enough."

Padraig Harrington also saw his charge fade when he laboured with a triple bogey on the final hole to tie for eighth.

It was even worse for Michael Campbell as the New Zealander slumped from a share of third to 19th with a 77.

Luke Donald improved to go six under while Colin Montgomerie is tied for 24th on one over.
