Cabrera caught after triple bogey

Cabrera failed to reproduce the form he showed during the second round

SUN CITY, South Africa -- Angel Cabrera triple-bogeyed the par-four 17th on his way to a two-over 74 and a three-way share of the lead in the Sun City Challenge third round.

Overnight pacesetter Cabrera, 36, failed to re-produce the brilliance of his second round course record 64 at the difficult Gary Player Country Club.

Level with the big-hitting Argentine on seven-under 209 are South Africa's Tim Clark (67) and Australia's Adam Scott (68).

Clark produced the best round of the day while Britons Darren Clarke (76) and Luke Donald (75) fell back into a tie for sixth at three-under 213.

Cabrera, two shots clear overnight, bogeyed the first and continued to struggle for accuracy with his driver on his way to an outward nine of 38.

He double-bogeyed the difficult par-four eighth, after mishitting two chips from the fringe of the green, and surrendered a three-shot lead at the 17th after finding water with his third shot.

"I hit the ball fairly well, but two bad holes cost me five shots," said Cabrera, 36. "I'll try to forget about what happened and put it behind me. I'm just grateful that I'm still in the lead. I'll try and act like it never happened."

Clark raced to the turn in 32 and added two more birdies at the par-four 11th and par-three 12th to join Cabrera briefly at eight under.

However, the South African's blistering run ended at the par-five 14th where he found bushes in a waste bunker before he parred the closing holes to stay at seven under.

Scott had nines of 34 and 34 in a round which included five birdies and an eagle and three bogeys.
