TIANJIN, China (AP) — Branden Grace of South Africa shot an 8-under 64 and has a three-shot lead after three rounds of the China Open on Saturday.
The 23-year-old South African moved to 18-under 198, three shots ahead of defending champion Nicolas Colsaerts of Belgium.
Grace started the third round one shot off the lead, but gained four shots in three holes, sinking a 15-foot eagle putt on the sixth green.
On a day of light winds and low scoring, Fabrizio Zanotti of Paraguay also shot a 64 to move to 14 under, four strokes back. Alexander Noren of Sweden had a 63 to join four other players at 13 under.
