MELBOURNE, Nov. 14 (UPI) -- Tiger Woods shot even-par 72 Saturday and is in a three-way tie for the lead going into the final round of the JBWere Masters in Australia.

Greg Chalmers and James Nitties each had 3-under 69s Saturday and are tied with Woods. James Dufner and Cameron Percy are tied for fourth at 8-under.

Woods had a birdie at the second hole but carded a 5 at the par-4 third hole. He ran off seven straight pars before another bogey. A birdie at No. 14 pulled him back to even but he missed birdie putts on each of his final four holes and had to settle for the tie for the lead.

Cameron was 4-under through his first nine holes but bogeyed No. 16 to go with eight pars on the back nine. Nitties birdied the first hole for the third consecutive day and added a birdie at No. 8. He also beat par at No. 14 -- where he had an eagle Thursday and a birdie Friday -- to get a share of the lead.
