The Live Report, Round 4: WGC-CA Championship (PGATOUR.com)

March 14, 2010

Padraig Harrington is seeking his first TOUR win since the 2008 PGA Championship.

ELS’ PUTTING (1:10 p.m.): Through the first two rounds, Ernie Els missed just one putt inside of 10 feet. Saturday, he missed four of them, which would explain why he enters today’s final round tied for the lead instead of in it by himself.

Still, Els has looked a lot more like his old self this week and this season. Part of the reason is of the work he’s put in on his putting with Marius Filmalter at Seminole in nearby Palm Beach County.

Els is also back to dominating the par-5s. This week, he leads the field, playing the par-5s in a collective 9 under with nine birdies. Els just obviously needs to avoid another final-round 75 like he had at last week’s Honda Classic.—Brian Wacker

FINAL ROUND UNDER WAY (1 p.m.): The final group won’t tee off until 2:45 p.m. ET, but there are already some really low scores being put up. Don’t expect that to continue if the wind increases this afternoon, which it should.

Right now, though, Jason Dufner is 5 under through his first nine holes, while Ian Poulter is 8 under with two holes left in his round. Poulter won’t break the course record ( a 61 shot by Stephen Ames in 2001), but he may end up with the best score of the week.—Brian Wacker

Groups We’re Watching Tee time Players 2:25 p.m. ET,No. 1 Bill Haas, Martin KaymerBoth players have posted 66s this week, so it’s not out of the question that Haas or Kaymer could end up on top Sunday. 2:35 p.m. ET,No. 1 Robert Allenby, Padraig HarringtonAllenby seeks his first PGA TOUR win since 2007. Harrington goes for his first major tour win of any kind since the 2008 PGA. 2:45 p.m. ET,No. 1 Ernie Els, Charl SchwartzelThey’re countrymen, and Schwartzel is a houseguest of Els this week. A win here would be huge for both for different reasons.
