Brazilian Lucas Lee made an eight-foot birdie putt on the last hole on Saturday to snatch a one-stroke lead after three rounds of the $1 million Thailand Open at Thana City Golf & Sports Club near Bangkok. Lee's rounds of 65, 67 and 65 leave him 19 under for the OneAsia tournament, ahead of defending champion Chris Wood from England and China's Hu Mu.
Scotland's Simon Yates, who is based in Thailand, celebrated his 43rd birthday with a 64, sharing fourth place at 17 under with overnight leader Scott Strange of Australia who carded a 68. Lee, 25, who is still seeking his breakthrough victory on a major circuit, refused to be intimidated despite playing with Wood (65) and three-time Major winner Padraig Harrington - who slipped out of contention with a 75.
