MAYNOOTH, Ireland -- Dutch golfer Joost Luiten will take a one-shot lead into the final round at the Irish Open and hope on Sunday for a second victory this month. Luiten moved to 13 under par and one clear of Pablo Larrazabal of Spain after both players carded bogey-free 6-under 66s at Carton House on Saturday. Luiten won the Lyoness Open in Austria this month for the second European Tour title of his seven-year pro career. "I have been playing very well the last two tournaments as I was also 10th in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth after my win in Austria," he said. "So tomorrow I will try to do the same, and if so, hopefully it may be good enough to win the trophy. Its all a matter of staying patient." Even though major winners Rory McIlroy, Padraig Harrington, Graeme McDowell and Darren Clarke failed to make the halfway cut, Luiten said there will be no less pressure on Sunday. "You really cant worry about who is behind you on the leaderboard, I am not bothered about who is behind me," Luiten said. "The key for me will be trying to get some early birdies to help set up a good score. Larrazabal was also a two-time Tour winner, though his last success was two years ago in Munich. "I had a lovely day in the office today with the Irish crowds truly awesome," he said. "I hope tomorrow I can hit the ball as good as these three days and hole as many putts." Englands Robert Rock (71) was in third place on 10 under and still within sight of making amends for losing a playoff for the 2009 Irish Open. Englands Paul Casey (67) and Scottish newcomer Scott Henry (69) were tied in fourth place on 9 under. Six players shared sixth, including former Irish Open winner Jose Maria Olazabal (71), who is looking to end an eight-year Tour victory drought. However last years victorious Ryder Cup captain again struggled with the driver. "Well, its just a shame as the leaders are running away, they are just too far ahead," he said. "The driver cost me big again. I only made three fairways today, and its very, very difficult to score when you do that." Olazabal is looking to become the oldest winner of the event at 43. He won the 1990 Irish Open. Black Friday Shoes China .

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said a replay officials decision not to overturn a call in this past Saturdays 41-8 win over Illinois was the worst call hes ever seen in football.Harbaugh brought up the play without being prompted during his weekly news conference Monday afternoon.Ive never seen a worse call, Harbaugh said. I dont know that Ive ever seen a more strange replay. Maybe there has been.The play in question came in the final minutes of a blowout win at the Big House on Saturday. Michigan completed a third-and-long pass near the sideline that referees spotted 2 yards short of a first down. Harbaugh opted to challenge the spot rather than face a fourth-down decision late in the game.The replay officials ruled that the original spot was correct. Michigan kept its offense on the field, converted the fourth-down attempt and then kneeled on the ball twice to end the game. The play, nonetheless, stuck in the coachs craw three daays later.ddddddddddddHe held a brief discussion of the rulebook with reporters Monday afternoon. A reporter suggested that referees might have let the ruling slide because of the lopsided score at the time.Is that in the rulebook? he asked. I havent come across that rule either.Harbaugh said later that he also disagreed with a roughing the passer penalty called against defensive lineman Matt Godin earlier in the game.Michigan players say Harbaugh doesnt pay much attention to the score of a game as much as hes zeroed in on each play. Thats trickled down to some of them this season.I agreed with him [on the challenge], senior cornerback Jourdan Lewis said. Hes competitive. Youve got to be competitive in this game. Theres no mercy. Once you give up mercy, you give up momentum. You dont know what can happen at that point. ' ' '
