Westwood still has sniff of Masters victory AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) - Lee Westwood, hunting his first major title, still has a "slight sniff" of victory at the Masters after ending Saturday's third round five strokes off the lead. The British world number three ground out an even-par 72 at Augusta National, briefly holding a share of the lead, but his momentum stalled with untimely bogeys, one of them after a missed putt from just 18 inches at the ninth. I didn't quite have it today. I made too many mistakes," Westwood told reporters after offsetting four birdies with four bogeys to post a four-under total of 212. That was a bad bogey at nine, missed a short one left. I bogeyed some holes that should have been birdie and missed a couple of short putts. But four under with the lead at nine still has a slight sniff, if I get it going early on and make a few birdies. I'm just going to hit a few balls now and find a bit of a swing. Westwood, who has six times finished in the top three at majors, was especially frustrated by his bogeys at the par-three 12th and the par-five 13th. "Those were bad bogeys," said the 38-year-old, who led by one shot after shooting a five-under 67 in Thursday's opening round. One of them you're trying to birdie, the 13th, and the 12th is the easiest flag. I wasn't hitting it too solid today which makes it difficult if you haven't got the distance control. Westwood, who finished second here in 2010 when he also opened with a 67, was reminded of the storming four-birdie finish by South African Charl Schwartzel to win last year's Masters. "This golf course gives you a chance if you're playing well," the Briton said. You've got the par-fives, especially the par-fives on the back nine. They've got the flags set so you can make a couple of eagles. Westwood lies joint sixth going into Sunday's final round, five shots behind pacesetting Swede Peter Hanson and four adrift of three-times champion Phil Mickelson.
