Hendry frustrated at World Cup of Golf

Michael Hendry's scores at the World Cup of Golf are getting better, but the New Zealand No.1 says making the same mistakes is starting to wear on him.

Michael Hendry's steadily improving scorecards at the World Cup of Golf at Royal Melbourne are providing little comfort for the New Zealand No.1.

Hendry compiled an even-par 71 in the third round on Saturday to go with his earlier 75 and 73, leaving him still well back at six-over and in a tie for 44th.

"I keep making the same frustrating mistakes each and every day and it's just starting to wear on me a bit," he said.

"It's unfortunate, because I feel the rest of the game, apart from those few repeating mistakes, is actually pretty good."

Teammate Tim Wilkinson also had his best round of the week with a one-under 70 to be one shot behind Hendry.

The pair's combined total of 13-over had them 23rd out of the 26 teams in the field, and 24 shots behind leaders Australia.

The host nation also head the individual standings, with Jason Day firing a five-under third-round 66 to go nine-under.

Day holds a one-shot lead over Denmark's Thomas Bjorn, who had started the day atop the leaderboard but had to be content with a 71.
