Australia’s Wade Ormsby remained the player to catch after he posted a -4 66 to head into the final round of the Hong Kong Open with a two-shot cushion on Saturday.
Ormsby has held the lead since the opening day and never looked likely to relinquish his place atop the leaderboard after soaring ahead with an eagle, three birdies and a long bogey for a three-day total of -13, 197.
Thailand’s Gunn Charoenkul displayed his consistency again at the Hong Kong Golf Club with a 65 to trail the 2017 Hong Kong Open champion in outright second place at the Asian Tour’s season-opening event.
While Gunn has yet to make his breakthrough on the Asian Tour, he has racked up 19 top-10s across all Tours in 2019 and the father-to-be showed he could be on the verge of breaking into the winner’s circle this week.
A fit-again Rashid Khan of India returned to full fitness as he made his move with a splendid 63 to share third place with Australia’s Terry Pilkadaris, Korea’s Taewoo Kim and Thailand’s Jazz Janewattananond, who is the reigning Asian Tour Order of Merit champion.
Hong Kong’s Alexander Yang continues to turn heads, carding his best score of the tournament in round 3. The 17-year-old high school student shot three-under-par 67 to leave him at -5 heading into the final round
