Mahan made four birdies in six holes to climb up the leaderboard

Bruce Weber, fired as the head burberry ties coach at Illinois last month, has been hired to run the Kansas State men’s program. Weber agreed to a five-year, $8.5 million contract that will pay him $1.5 million next season. He replaces Frank Martin, who left for South Carolina last week.

The move has not met with universal approval among Kansas State supporters. Jacob Pullen, the university’s career scoring leader who now plays overseas, offered his assessment of the hiring via Twitter, even misspelling Weber’s name: “Bruce Webber didn’t think I was good enough to play at Illinois and I don’t burberry outlet think he is good enough to coach at Kansas State.”

Karin Sjodin battled the wind on Saturday to fire a four-under 68, which allowed her to join Yani Tseng in the lead after three rounds of the Kraft Nabisco Championship.

The co-leaders sit at nine-under-par 207 and couldn't be much different, career-wise.

Sjodin, 28, has never won on the LPGA Tour and missed the cut last week at the Kia Classic. She also missed the cut the first three times she played this tournament.

Tseng, 23, is the world's No. 1 player and a dominant presence on tour. She has recorded 15 LPGA victories, including five major wins -- one of which was the 2010 Kraft Nabisco title. She has won back-to-back tournaments, and three times in five starts overall this season.

But she struggled with her putter on the back nine Saturday and carded a one- under 71.

"It's a great leaderboard burberry shoes for men behind me," Oosthuizen said. "It's going to be tough, but I feel like I'm ready for it."

Mahan had a 65, rebounding from a bogey on No. 9 with four birdies on the back nine.

Carl Pettersson (67) and Brian Davis (69) were three strokes back at 14 under. James Driscoll (71) was alone at 12 under. Defending champion Phil Mickelson (70), Keegan Bradley (69) and Ryan Palmer (66) were 11 under.

Three-time major champion Ernie Els, who must win to qualify for the Masters next week, was in a group at 8 under. Els hasn't missed the Masters since 1993 and knew that his chances of winning Sunday are remote.

"I needed to get to 10 or 11 under to really have a shot," Els said. "I need a 62 or 63. It's tough to do on a Sunday, but you might as well give it a go."

The tournament's schedule was pushed back by a Ray ban sunglasses thunderstorm Thursday, and 70 players resumed their second rounds Saturday morning.

Oosthuizen completed a 66 to move to 11 under, one behind second-round leader Jeff Maggert. Oosthuizen started his third round with a tee shot into a fairway bunker, leading to a bogey, then misjudged the wind off the tee on No. 2 and bogeyed again.

The 2010 British Open winner sank an 11-foot birdie putt on No. 6 to get going, then made birdies at Nos. 8 and 9 to make the turn at 12 under.

"After that, I felt really comfortable," Oosthuizen said. "I made really good swings after that."

Mahan made four birdies in six holes to climb up the leaderboard. He holed a 34-footer on No. 6 and a 15-footer on No. 7. The winner of the Match Play Championship this year, Mahan never considered Oakley sunglasses skipping Houston to go straight to the Masters.

Mahan has three top-10 finishes in five previous starts here since 2007.

"I thought about it for about a second," Mahan said. "But this is a place I've played well at, so I want to play well here and try to win here. I really didn't want to pass this tournament up. Augusta will take care of burberry kids sale itself."

Ninety players made the 36-hole cut at 2 under or better. It was the most players to survive the 36-hole cut in a non-major since 91 made it at the 1981 Travelers Championship.

Another cut was made after the third round, leaving 70 players in the field for Sunday.

Maggert missed five straight cuts coming into this week. Playing in calm, cloudy conditions on Saturday morning, Maggert finished his second straight 66 to surge to 12 under and take the outright lead.Armani sunglasses for women, cheap armani glasses for men sale.

"It's a strange game," he said. "I just had a little stretch there where I wasn't hitting it that great. Just struggled a little bit, but this week, I've certainly turned it around."

Fred Couples, who won on the Champions Tour last week, made the 36-hole cut in Houston for the 19th consecutive time. He shot a 71 louis vuitton women shoes in the third round and was 5 under.
