McDowell leads big names through 54 at WGC-HSBC

SHANGHAI – Graeme McDowell shot a 1-under 71 on Saturday that kept him in the lead at the HSBC Champions. But just barely.

McDowell watched a four-shot lead dwindle over the back nine on a gray, cold afternoon at Sheshan International. Hiroshi Iwata of Japan birdied two of his last three holes for a 68 and was one shot behind.

U.S. Open champion Martin Kaymer had a 66, while Masters champion Bubba Watson had another great finish for a 69. They were two behind.

McDowell was at 11-under 205 as he tries to complete a wire-to-wire victory for his first World Golf Championship.

If Saturday was any indication, it won’t be easy. Seven players were within four shots of the lead, a group that includes Rickie Fowler (69) at three shots behind.
