Yokoo remains in lead in Japan

MIYAZAKI, Japan, Nov. 23 (UPI) -- Japan's Kaname Yokoo will take a slender one-shot lead into Sunday's final round of the Dunlop Phoenix tournament after hitting a third successive sub-70 round Saturday.

Chasing him hard is Northern Irishman Darren Clarke, the first-round leader, who carded a 65 Saturday to revive his bid after a disappointing second round Friday. Clarke had two eagles at the par-71 Phoenix Country Club.
