Johnson leads after rainy day

-

Dustin Johnson finished with three birdies over his last four holes for another 5-under 66 to take a one-shot lead after 36 holes of the rain-delayed Genesis Open in Los Angeles.

Johnson has three victories in 54-hole events, though this figures to go 72 holes, even if that means going into Monday. Heavy rain across southern California wiped out seven hours of play Friday and caused a two-hour delay Saturday morning.

Pat Perez birdied the last two holes for a 66 and was one shot behind, along with Cameron Tringale (64). In other news: • Lizette Salas shot a 2-under 71 to take a twostroke lead into the final round of the Women’s Australian Open at Royal Adelaide in Australia.

South Korean-born Australian Su Oh had the round of the day, a 68, and was tied for second with fellow Australian Sarah

Jane Smith (74) and Thailand’s Pornanong Phatlum ( 73).

• Miguel Angel Jimenez birdied two of the last four holes to take a one-stroke lead over Fred Couples and Kevin Sutherland into the final round of the Chubb Classic in Naples, Fla.

Jimenez birdied the par-4 15th and par-5 17th in a bogey-free 5-under 67 that got him to 12-under 132 in the PGA Tour Champions event at The Twin-Eagles Club.
