Toms blows seven-shot lead at Colonial By Associated Press Posted: May 21, 2011 FORT WORTH, Texas ?Charlie Wi began the third round at Colonial just hoping to cut into playing partner David Toms?big lead. Wi certainly never expected to be leading at the end of the day at the Crowne Plaza Invitational. Toms blew a seven-stroke margin Saturday, and Wi took the lead with a 32-foot birdie putt on the par-3 16th hole. At 13 under after a 4-under 66, Wi had a one-stroke stroke edge over Toms ?and the 54-hole lead on the PGA Tour for the first time in his career. 밒뭢 very pleasantly surprised. I played really well today and David didn뭪,?Wi said. 밒t뭩 such a crazy game. I don뭪 know what to say.? Soon after a weather delay of 1 hour, 20 minutes, Wi뭩 tee shot at No. 16 landed on the back side of the green and Toms pushed his shot right into the rough. Wi holed the birdie putt before Toms?16-foot par chance just missed for a two-stroke swing that changed the top of the leaderboard. 밫ough day overall,?said Toms, who shot 74 after building his huge lead with bogey-free 62s. Toms opened with a birdie Saturday, but had three bogeys in a five-hole stretch while Wi got started with consecutive birdies. Even worse for Toms was a three-putt from 7 1/2 feet for double bogey at No. 14, where Wi chipped to 12 feet to save par before the delay. 밬ntil then I was still three behind him, so I wasn뭪 even thinking about the lead or anything,?Wi said. 밫hen it뭩 `Wow, I뭢 only one shot behind him.?I knew it was getting a lot more interesting than how I envisioned when I started the day.? Wi made his 100th cut in 147 PGA Tour events this weekend, but the 39-year-old South Korean has never won. The 44-year-old Toms is a 12-time winner, but is looking for his first victory in more than five years. He is coming off a playoff loss to K.J. Choi last weekend at The Players Championship. While Toms now has another disappointment to overcome, at least he still has one more round to play at Hogan뭩 Alley. 밒뭢 right where I set out to be when I started this week,?Toms said. 밒 certainly would like to be sitting here with a 10-stroke lead and trying to break some record or something like that. It뭩 all about getting in position and see how I do. I did well last Sunday with a chance, but didn뭪 quite get there.? John Senden, who began the third round with Wi in a quartet of players seven strokes back, shot even par and was third alone at 9 under. Stuart Appleby (67), Paul Goydos (67) and Mark Wilson (71) were 8 under. After blasting out of a frontside bunker at the par-4 14th, Toms three-putted for his first double bogey in a stretch of 343 holes at Colonial. That coupled with Wi뭩 impressive up-and-down at the same hole cut the gap to one stroke. Before Toms and Wi finished No. 15, play was stopped because of an approaching storm. Only a little bit of rain fell before play resumed and both made their par putts. Toms got to 17 under with his opening birdie Saturday at the 565-yard first hole, chipping from just short of the green to 6 feet. Then came a couple of bad bounces and three bogeys. His approach at the par-4 second hit on the front of the green but rolled back into the greenside bunker. He blasted to about 19 feet and two-putted for his first bogey in 38 holes. 밊rom there, he kind of lost the momentum a little bit, but I didn뭪 think I was going to be able to close the gap like I did,?Wi said. After missing the fairway left at No. 3 and hitting a low liner approach that stopped just short of the green, Toms pushed a 5 1/2 -foot par chance just right of the hole. At the difficult 247-yard fourth hole, his tee shot landed in the frontside bunker so deep that the 5-foot-10 Toms?head was barely visible from the back of the green when he blasted to 9 feet. When he made that putt, he had a slight fist pump that was more relief than celebration. But Toms got another bad break when his approach at No. 6 rolled off the right side of the green. He chipped 9 feet past the hole and couldn뭪 save the par, and walked away holding both hands out. 밒 felt like after the first six holes, I was just hanging on,?he said. 밫rying not to make a mistake rather than going out and playing great. That뭩 probably what that big lead does for you. ?I really never felt nervous. I just didn뭪 feel as confident out there today. I just didn뭪 feel in control, and that뭩 a bad feeling.? After carding 31s on both nines on each of the first two rounds, Toms finished the front side Saturday at 2-over 37. He had already missed five greens, matching his total for the first two rounds. Still, at that point, Toms was 14 under with a three-stroke lead over Wi and Wilson, playing in the group ahead. 밒t can happen fast on this golf course, you can go either way quickly,?he said. 밫here are some birdie holes if you뭨e playing great and there뭩 a lot of bogeys out there to be had if you뭨e
