Golf: Wilkinson drifts off in Tennessee

New Zealand golfer Tim Wilkinson drifted off the pace during the third round of the Knoxville Open in the United States yesterday.

The left-hander posted a two-over 74 in Tennessee to sit in a share of 17th place on six-under 210 in the latest Nationwide Tour event.

Wilkinson trails the leader, American Hunter Haas, by 10 strokes entering today's final round.

Fellow New Zealander Steve Alker was two shots behind Wilkinson after shooting 71 today.
