Danny Willett will go in search of a first European Tour title since his victory at the Masters Tournament when he takes a three-shot lead into the final round of the Maybank Championship.

The Englishman had the most successful year of his career so far in 2016, winning twice including that triumph at Augusta National as he finished second in the Race To Dubai.

That does not tell the whole story, however, and Willett admitted he struggled to find that early season form as he recorded just one top ten in his final 13 events of the season.

A sixth-placed finish at the UBS Hong Kong Open and some hard work over the Christmas break has helped to restore confidence and, after rounds of 66-67-67 -16, he is in pole position to move back into the winner's circle at Saujana Golf and Country Club.

He is three shots clear of American David Lipsky and four ahead of Frenchman Alexander Levy, the first time he has led by more than one shot after 54 holes.
 
Overnight leader Bernd Wiesberger was 10 shots worse than his brilliant 63 on Friday, and his 73 has slipped him down into the chasing pack.
