Golf-Dominant Danes extend World Cup lead in Melbourne (Reuters)

MELBOURNE, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Soren Kjeldsen and Thorbjorn Olesen remained on course to claim a first World Cup of Golf for Denmark after shooting a two-under-par 70 in Saturday's foursomes to extend their overnight lead to four strokes.

The Danish pair started the day at Kingston Heath with a three-shot cushion after sizzling second round 60 and mixed five birdies with three bogeys to move to 14-under for the tournament.

Americans Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker were second after a 69 in the alternate shot format moved them to 10-under, a shot better than China's Wu Anshun and Li Haotong, who made a double bogey-bogey start but recovered for a round of par 72.
