Finch's six-birdie burst gives

him China Open lead by one

Richard Finch birdied six holes in a row around the turn en route to a third round 66 which gave the Englishman a one shot lead over Gonzalo Fernandez-Castaño going into the final round of the Volvo China Open at Beijing CBD International Golf Club.
Finch was on 208, the Spaniard 209 with Markus Brier and Ashley Hall - who set a course record 65 today - sharing third place on 211.
Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie, who had an altercation with a professional course photographer during his second round, moved up to joint 15th position with a 70 for 216 - eight shots behind the leader. On the same mark is Anglo-Scot Scott Drummond after a 71.
Andrew Coltart, the third of only three Scottish entries (all of whom survived the halfway cut), had a 72 for 218.
Montgomerie later tried to explain away his latest outbursts as a result of some people's lack of understanding about golf etiquette.
While on his way to a 73 in his Friday round, Monty yelled at a photographer who was taking photos during his swing. He later told a TV cameraman in his line of sight to move, shouting: "Don't film me" as he searched for his ball.
Montgomerie told BBC Radio 5 on Saturday that China "is an emerging nation golf-wise."
He says sometimes the Chinese, Koreans and Thais and emerging countries in the Far East tend not to understand or appreciate the etiquette of the game.
