TAIWAN GIRL (14) IS OVERALL
LEADER IN NICK FALDO
SERIES ASIA GRAND FINAL


Fourteeen-year-old Hsieh Yu Ling from Chinese Taipei produced a brilliant three under par 69 at Mission Hills today to lead the Faldo Series Asia grand final going into the final round.
Following a 68 yesterday and starting from the 10th, Hsieh continued her good form to card three birdies and only one bogey on her front nine of the Faldo course. She recovered from a bogey on the 12th to make two further birdies on 14 and 16 and to post a 36-hole aggregate of 137, seven under par.
The title of Faldo Series Asia champion will be awarded to the player with the lowest gross score after 54 holes, boy or girl. Hsieh is two ahead of the field in her quest to claim that title, but she will face stiff competition in Monday's final round from the boys behind her.
Leading the challenge on 139 is overnight leader Nakarin Ratanakul from Thailand, 18, who followed his 67 with a level par 72. Also in the hunt are 20-year-old Ben Evans from England on 142; Chinese Taipei’s Hung Chien Yao (14) on 144, thanks to the lowest round of the day, a 67; and 19-year-old Anirban Lahiri on 146.
