Honolulu: David Toms set a course record with a 9-under 61 and it still wasn't enough to take the lead in the Sony Open, which turned into a two-man race between Toms and the equally hot Chad Campbell on Saturday. Toms finally caught Campbell with a two-putt birdie on the 18th, setting the tournament record at Waialae Country Club since it changed to a par 70 in 1999. Davis Love III still has the course record of 12-under 60 in 1994. Campbell did his heavy lifting with the irons, rarely leaving himself birdie putts outside 15 feet and converting enough of them for a 62. He had a 15-foot birdie putt to match Toms' record score on the final hole, but it hung on the lip. They were at 14-under 196, seven shots clear of anyone else. ''It was a great day all around for both of us,'' Toms said. Big-hitting Bubba Watson, who hit a wedge into the par-5 18th for a birdie and a 66, and Shane Bertsch (63) were tied for third at 7-under 203. Jim Furyk, tied with Campbell starting the third round, struggled to a 70 that left him in the group at 204 that included Rory Sabbatini and Charles Warren. (AP)
