Roma edge Palermo 1-0
AS Roma?s Fabio Borini scored the winner after only three minutes as they moved back to sixth place in Serie A with a nervy 1-0 win at Palermo on Saturday. The striker latched on to a clever through ball from Erik Lamela and coolly slotted home from 10m. The visitors squandered several chances to increase their lead and ended up hanging on to claim the points with a resilient defensive display. Roma move up to 41 points, one ahead of Inter.

Watson regains Doral lead
Bubba Watson regained his lead about the time he was losing control with his tee shots. He still wound up with a five-under 67 on Saturday and a three-shot lead in the Cadillac Championship in Doral, Florida. Watson lost a four-shot lead in three holes in the middle of his round, only to pull away from Justin Rose despite a few wild shots coming down the stretch. He is poised to capture his first World Golf Championship. Rose (69) and PGA champion Keegan Bradley (66) are tied for second. On another day of low scoring on the Blue Monster, Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods made early moves. It wasn?t enough to keep up with Watson, who was at 17-under 199.

McNeill leads in Puerto Rico
George McNeill shot a five-under 67 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead over Henrik Stenson and Kevin Stadler into the final round of the Puerto Rico Open. McNeill, at 13-under 203, is attempting to win for the first time since the Frys.com Open in 2007 when he was a PGA Tour rookie. He eagled the par-five fifth, dropped strokes with three-putt bogeys on Nos. 7 and 8, then birdied five of the last 10 holes on the Trump International layout.

Dunedin Test draw declared
Heavy overnight rain and persistent showers throughout yesterday washed out the final day?s play of the first Test between South Africa and New Zealand at University Oval in Dunedin, New Zealand. The match was officially declared a draw and ended South Africa?s hopes of taking the top Test ranking from England. The Proteas had to sweep the series 3-0 to give them any chance of taking over the No. 1 spot. No play was possible in the morning session, which had been scheduled to start at 10am and umpires Aleem Dar and Billy Doctrove decided there was no chance of any play after the scheduled lunch break had been taken. The match had been slightly tipped in South Africa?s favor as New Zealand were looking for a record 401 runs to win.

Lee, Lin to face off in final
Lee Chong Wei and archrival Lin Dan will play for history after setting up their third All England Open badminton final on Saturday. Top-ranked Lee needs a win over the greatest player of this generation to become the first man to win three successive All Englands in the 33-year Open era. Lin, through to his eighth final in nine years, will bid to become the first person to win the world?s oldest tournament five times in the era. Neither man was in any danger in the semi-finals. Lee defeated Lee Hyun-il of South Korea 21-19, 21-18 and Lin put away Kenichi Tago of Japan 21-18, 21-17. Women?s No. 1 and world champion Wang Yihan outlasted defending champ Wang Shixian 20-22, 21-18, 21-18 in their 85-minute, all-Chinese match. The final will be all-Chinese, too, after Li Xuerui overcame unseeded Tai Tzu-ying of Taiwan 19-21, 21-16, 21-10.
