Rory Sabbatini from South Africa (pictured below) carded a seven-under-par 63 for a 14 under par total of 196 yesterday to capture the third-round lead in the 4.5 million-dollar Valero Texas Open.

Sabbatini finished the day one stroke in front of former US Masters champion Zach Johnson, who fired a sizzling 62 for 197.

Tim Herron (67), Chris Stroud (69) and New Zealand’s Tim Wilkinson (63) shared third on 199.

Defending champion Justin Leonard, bidding for a record fourth Texas Open title, birdied the final hole en route to a six-under 64 that saw him tied for 19th heading into the final round.
