Nedbank Golf Challenge:  Henrik Stenson continued his domination of the Nedbank Golf Challenge by charging eight strokes clear after the third at Sun City, South Africa.

The tall Swede, who has led since the opening day, collected seven birdies in a flawless seven-under-par 65 for a 17-under aggregate of 199 at the Gary Player Country Club.
   
Stenson is now within striking distance of the tournament record of 263 set by Ernie Els in 1999.
   
"My priority tomorrow is just to win," the world number 12 said. "I'm not going to focus on the record, just play hole by hole and see where it goes."
   
Stenson will play the final round alongside Robert Karlsson, his partner when Sweden triumphed at the World Cup at Missiona Hills in China last Sunday.
   
European number one Karlsson carded a 67 to move into second place on 207.
   
"It will be fun playing with Robert tomorrow," said Stenson. "I'm sure he will go out and try to put me under pressure early on so I just need to keep my head down."
   
Lightning again stopped play after Friday's suspension meant the players had to return to complete their second rounds on Saturday morning.
   
Play resumed after a 57-minute delay and Stenson, who had begun his campaign with rounds of 63 and 71, reeled off birdies at the third, ninth, 10th, 11th and 14th.

"During the delay ... I spent 10 minutes on the range and got a good feeling again. I was able to hit some great shots over the last four holes."
   
After back-to-back birdies at 16 and 17, the big-hitting Stenson split the fairway at the 18th and knocked his approach close only to see his birdie putt shave the hole.
   
"I had to convince myself every shot was very important and I was pleased to get those last few birdies because it makes quite a difference being eight shots ahead rather than four or five.
   
"There have probably been rounds where my ball striking was better but I struggled to convert. This week I haven't been at my best but I've taken my chances."
   
Karlsson said it would be a surprise if Stenson surrendered his advantage.
   
"Tomorrow I will just go out and play my game but I don't expect to have a chance because Henrik is just playing too good," he said.
   
South African Rory Sabbatini was in third place on 210 after a level-par 72.
   
"If you don't make putts you are going to be treading water but I felt I was doing everything right, hitting them good. They just wouldn't go in," said Sabbatini.
