SHANGHAI —

Ryo Ishikawa climbed into a share of eighth place after a 2-under 70 in the third round of the HSBC Champions in Shanghai on Saturday. Teeing off tied for 10th, the 18-year-old Ishikawa made three birdies against a lone bogey on the ninth hole at Sheshan International Golf Club to move into a quartet of players including Ernie Els on 7-under 209.
   
Playing in the same group as Ishikawa, Komei Oda matched par and was tied for 17th on 211 while Daisuke Maruyama (74) was at 1-under at the $7 million World Golf Championship event. Phil Mickelson topped the leaderboard at 14-under after a 67, two shots clear of World No. 1 Tiger Woods and Nick Watney.

  My money is on Nick Watney, local favorite from Dixon, California. He's definitely a rising star on the PGA tour plus an extremely nice young man. Go Nick!
