CASTLE ROCK, Colo. - Using long irons off most tees and hitting to the center of greens, Davis Love III had few scintillating moments. He also avoided any spectacular mistakes.

Love played steady, conservative golf to maintain his 10-point lead Saturday in The International.

Love consistently avoided trouble in his 5-point round, increasing his total to 41 points under the modified Stableford scoring system used in this event.

"I'd say steady is a good word," Love said. "It was obviously not as good as the last two days, but I hit a lot of good shots, was on a lot of greens and was never in danger of making a big score. I swung the club real well and did what I had to do."

John Rollins also earned 5 points and remained in second place with 31 points.

Vijay Singh was third with 28 after a 9-point round.

Chris DiMarco and Retief Goosen each had 26 points, and Phil Mickelson had an up-and-down round to finish at 23.

J.J. Henry was at 22, and Charles Howell III had 21.

CHAMPIONS TOUR: Tom Purtzer birdied the final hole to cap a six-under 66 and grab a one stroke lead atop a crowded leaderboard Saturday following two rounds of the 3M Championships.

Don Pooley, Hugh Baiocchi, Ben Crenshaw and Wayne Levi were tied for second place at 8 under.

First-round co-leaders Jim Thorpe and Morris Hatalsky were in a sixth-place tie at 6 under with Gil Morgan, James Mason and Mike Smith.

LPGA: Candie Kung missed seven birdie putts inside 15 feet and still put together a 3-under-par 69 Saturday that gave her a share of the lead with Hee-Won Han through two rounds of the Wendy's Championship for Children.

Kung's 69 left her at 11-under 133. She opened with a career-best 64 Friday, her 22nd birthday.

Han, second a year ago at the Wendy's to Mi Hyun Kim, followed a 67 with a bogey-free 65.
