GREATER NOIDA, India (AP) — South African Thomas Aiken has shot a 10-under 62 to lead in the Avantha Masters by three shots after three rounds on Saturday.
Aiken had eight birdies and an eagle to total 18-under 198 to move ahead of Liang Wenchong of China, whose 69 gave him 15 under. Thailand’s Kiradech Aphibarnrat (66) and Scotland’s David Drysdale (68) were at 14 under.
A further stroke behind were Australian Scott Hend (68), Finland’s Joonas Granberg (69) and England’s Tommy Fleetwood (69).
Aiken, whose only previous win on the European Tour was the 2011 Open de Espana, said an eagle on the second hole boosted his round.
