SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Bernd Wiesberger of Austria shot a second straight 7-under 65 Saturday to open up a five-shot lead after the third round of the Ballantine’s Championship.

He equaled the Blackstone Golf Club course record he had set the previous day to reach 14-under 202.

Marcus Fraser of Australia was in second after a third-round 69, with England’s Oliver Fisher (67) and Chile’s Felipe Aguilar (68) one shot back in a tie for third.

The 26-year-old Wiesberger led by one shot after the second round and he extended his advantage with a 15-foot birdie putt on the fourth green and another from five foot at the sixth.

He made five more birdies on the back nine to close in on his first European Tour victory.
