UNHERALDED Thai Kiradech Aphibarnrat and Briton Rhys Davies were tied for the lead after yesterday's third round at the storm-hit Malaysian Open in Kuala Lumpur.
World No. 231 Kiradech, who had to play the last four holes of his second round in the morning after a lightning delay caused havoc on Friday, carded a third-round 68 as the pacesetters both holed out on 11-under-par 205.
Welshman Davies, the world No. 135, had played out a second-round 69 to take a two-shot lead at the halfway point before he slipped back following a 71 in the afternoon at the US$2 million co-sanctioned Asian and European Tour event.
South Korean K J Choi's hot putter helped him close the gap with four birdies in the opening 10 holes as he fired a 69 which left him in a four-way tie for second, one stroke off the lead. Denmark's Soren Hansen (69), Thai Thongchai Jaidee (69) and South Korean Noh Seung-yul (67) will all tee off one shot behind the leading pair.
At Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, American Anthony Kim fired a sparkling six-under 64 to grab a share of the lead with Colombia's Camilo Villegas after the second round of the Honda Classic on Friday.
Kim notched seven birdies and a single bogey to share the day's lowest round on a cool but calm day.
"I'm very happy with the way I played the last two days, not just today," Kim told reporters. "Hopefully I can stay on this path, my game is starting to show signs of life."
Kim joined Villegas on an eight-under total of 132 after the in-form Colombian set an early target by returning a four-under 66 for the second straight day.
Former world No. 1 Vijay Singh of Fiji finished one stroke adrift after shooting a 66.
In Gold Coast, Australia, Karrie Webb put herself in a strong position for a seventh Australian Ladies Masters title, shooting an eight-under 64 yesterday to take a one-stroke lead after three rounds.
The Australian's total of 15-under 201 put her a shot ahead of compatriot and defending champion Katherine Hull (65) and South Korean Lee Bo-mee (63).
Two South Koreans were tied for fourth after shooting 66s -- Seo Hee-kyung and Ryu So-yeon -- on a Royal Pines resort course.
