Stricker retains five-shot lead in Hawaii

Steve Stricker produced a strong finish to his third round to ensure he will take a five-shot lead into today’s final round of the Tournament of Champions in Hawaii.

The Wisconsin-born 44-year-old, who was 15 under par and five strokes clear of Webb Simpson at tournament’s midway stage following a stunning 10-under-par 63 on Saturday, struggled to continue his momentum in the early part of his third round on Sunday and was level par through 14 holes.
