Westwood's fighting finish puts
him back in Order of Merit frame

Lee Westwood still hopes to have something to shout about before he has his tonsils out on Monday - a second European Order of Merit title.
Westwood needs to win the season-ending Volvo Masters at Valderrama to have a chance of pipping Swede Robert Karlsson, and a brilliant finish to his rain-delayed second round re-ignited his challenge.
The man who ended Colin Montgomerie's seven-year reign as No 1 in 2000 played the last 11 holes in six under par to climb into a tie for second place, only two behind Dane Soren Kjeldsen.
If Westwood wins the tournament, Karlsson will have to be second or third to retain top spot on the money list, but a second successive 73 left him joint 22nd as the players went out again for the third round.
Padraig Harrington and Miguel Angel Jimenez also had a chance of winning the Harry Vardon Trophy entering the event, but Harrington's hopes were hanging by a thread at five over - he needs a top-two finish - and those of Jimenez, who required victory, looked over after he completed a round of 80 for 11 over.
LATER NEWS: RAIN SUSPENDS THIRD ROUND PLAY
Søren Kjeldsen and Sergio Garcia are locked together at five under par at the top of the leaderboard with play suspended during the third round.
And Lee Westwood - chasing both the tournament and The Order of Merit - is just a shot further back.
Kjeldsen held a two-shot lead after the rain hit second round was completed but he dropped a shot at the first to be one over for his round after six holes.
Garcia - winner of last week’s Castello Masters at his home course- was one under for his round after seven holes thanks to a birdie at the par five fourth.
Westwood’s compatriot Anthony Wall is in fourth place on three under par.
In the race for The Harry Vardon Trophy, Westwood has to win and hope for current leader Robert Karlsson to finish outside the top three.
With the Swede five over par that looks increasingly likely, while Padraig Harrington - needing a top two finish - is two over par in a tie for 18th after 11 holes.
The rain intensified and on the already saturated greens puddles soon appeared, causing play to be suspended just after 5.20pm local time.

FASTH FINISHES STRONGLY TO

LEAD ISKANDAR JOHOR OPEN

Johor Bahru, Malaysia, November 1: Sweden’s Niclas Fasth produced a grandstand finish with three closing birdies to snatch a one-shot lead from Thailand’s Thaworn Wiratchant after the third round of the Iskandar Johor Open today.
The former Ryder Cup star carded a two-under-par 70 on tough day at Royal Johor Country Club to put himself in pole position in the US$500,000 Asian Tour event. Thaworn, Asia’s most prolific winner with 10 titles, produced an equally impressive back nine for a 69 to stay hot on the leader’s heels.
Joint halfway leader Mitchell Brown of Australia overcame a scrappy start before settling for a 72 to lie two back while Malaysia’s Iain Steel raised local cheers with a battling 70 for tied fourth place with Kane Webber of Australia, who also carded a 70.
Lurking behind was two-time Major champion Retief Goosen who will enter the last round four off the pace after adding a second successive 69 for tied sixth place with Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand (73), Richard Moir of Australia (70) and Adam Groom of Australia (69).
Fasth, who leads the tournament on 10-under-par 206, was delighted with his superb finish, clenching his fist with delight after he holed a tricky birdie putt on the 18th hole to complete his hat-trick.
“It was a fantastic putt to finish. I had good feelings walking off that green. That was the first time I had a putt of two and half feet that broke a foot. I couldn’t risk having a run at it as it could have ended off the green,” said Fasth.
A six-time winner in Europe, the 36-year-old was one over par for the day through 10 holes before producing his closing fireworks. He nailed an eight iron to seven feet on the par three 16th hole, chipped it close at the next par five before holing his curler at the last.
“It was the kind of day when nothing happened and it was a matter of being strong and hanging in there. I got a chance to birdie the 16th and I thought if I could hole this one, it would fire me up. And it did as I birdied the last two holes. It was a very strong finish and I was proud of it,” said Fasth.
Thai veteran Thaworn, the Asian Tour’s number one in 2005, traded one birdie against a bogey on his outward nine before knocking in birdies on the 12th, 14th and 15th holes to give himself a chance of a record 11th career victory.
“I had some luck today. Everyone was making birdies on the 11th hole which played easy but I didn’t birdie that hole. However, I chipped in at the 12th, so it was my lucky day.
“The greens here are difficult. It’s very hard to read the greens and hole putts. You need a lot of luck. Sometimes you hit a bad putt and you hole it and it can go the other way round as well. I’ll need to have a good game plan tomorrow,” said Thaworn, who won the Bangkok Airways Open in June.
Nerves got the better of Brown, who is searching for his maiden Asian Tour victory, as he dropped three shots through 12 holes. But the Australian fought back with three birdies.
“I think I was a bit nervous. I’m going to try and have a bit of fun tomorrow and try to hit some good shots. My problem was that I drove the ball poorly. I just need to get the ball onto the fairway, it doesn’t matter how I do it. If I can do that, I’ll shoot a good score,” said Brown.
Like Brown, Steel is searching his maiden win on the Asian Tour and nothing would give him greater pleasure if he does it on home turf at the Iskandar Johor Open. He was one-over for the day through the turn before nailing birdies on the 11th, 15th and 16th holes.
“I saved the round with a strong back nine,” said Steel. “This week is a test of the mind rather than abilities and I’m proud of where I am right now. It looks quite crowded at the top. I don’t care where my first win comes from but if it comes from here I’ll be very happy,” he said.
Goosen, US Open champion in 2001 and 2004, stormed to an outward 33 but failed to improve on his score as tough pin placements made life difficult for the field. The South African isn’t throwing in the towel just yet.
“Anything can happen. I can shoot six or seven under tomorrow but the leader can shoot six under tomorrow and it won’t mean anything. I’m just going to go out and do my best and put a good number on the leaderboard. The putting is not quite there but I’m hitting the ball a lot better,” said Goosen.
