Golf: Alker best Kiwi as final round looms

Hamilton's Steve Alker is the top placed kiwi heading into today's final round at the Greg Norman Golf International at the Lakes course in Sydney.

Alker fired a 2-under-par 71 yesterday to move into a tie for eighth at ten under the card.

Spain's Sergio Garcia and Aussie Aaron Baddeley share the lead at 16-under for the tournament.

Garcia was holding the outright lead by two shots but was penalised two strokes after completing his round for illegally taking a free drop on the opening hole.
