Golf: Kaymer holds six-stroke lead at Abu Dhabi

Associated Press

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Martin Kaymer shot a 4-under 68 today to maintain a six-shot lead after the third round of the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship.

The 23-year-old German, the 2007 European Tour rookie of the year, totaled 17-under 199.

Anthony Wall of England shared the best round with a 65 and moved into second. Henrik Stenson, the runner-up last year, had a 69. Fourth-place Lee Westwood also shot 65 and trails the leader by eight strokes.

Kaymer opened with birdies on his first two holes and later added two more in a bogey-free round.

"When I came here on Tuesday, I didn't like the greens that much. Of course I love them now," Kaymer said.
