CHINA-KOREA TWO-HORSE RACE FOR
ASIAN TOURNAMENT TITLE

China's Liang Wen-chong stayed firmly on track to lift a second title of the season when he retained his overnight one-shot lead after the third round of the GS Caltex Maekyung Open today.
The 28-year-old Liang, who has led since the opening day at Nam Seoul Country Club, carded a five-under-par 67 for a three-day score of 14-under-par 202 in the US$600,000 Asian Tour event.
Hot on Liang's heels is talented Korean youngster Kim Kyung-tae, who made it a two-horse race for the Maekyung title after matching Liang's round with a blistering back nine performance.
Korean-born Australian Lee Won-joon, playing in his rookie season on the Asian Tour, carded the day's joint best round of 66 for third place, thanks to six birdies. However, the 21-year-old is seven shots behind leader Liang.
A further three strokes back in fourth place was American Anthony Kang, who carded a 68 for a 212 total.
Scots exile Ross Bain had a 71 to be sharing 28th place on 217.
