CHRIS DOAK TOP SCOT AFTER THREE ROUNDS IN ITALY

NEWS RELEASE FROM EUROPEAN TOUR
COMMUNICATIONS 
Chris Doak was the pick of the Scots on day three of the Apulia San Domenico Grand Final, carding a four under par 67 to move into a tie for sixth.
Doak is tenth in the Challenge Tour Rankings and needs a strong performance in the season’s final tournament to ensure he finishes in the top 11 who gain exemption to category ten on The European Tour next season.
Six birdies and two bogeys certainly helped his cause at San Domenico Golf, and at 11 under par overall he is six shots off the lead held by Joachim B Hansen.
After playing a superb up-and-down for par at the last he said: “I played nicely again today. I holed some good putts and I drove the ball very well. It was a great par to finish. I was playing my second shot out of a divot and it just flew out the back of the green.
“I’m trying not to think too much about the Rankings – that’s when you start to feel the pressure. I’m just concentrating on playing well and the rest will take care of itself.”
Raymond Russell is another Scot in need of a big result to improve on his current position of 22nd in the Rankings, one spot shy of promotion to The European Tour. The 40 year old signed for a one under par 70 to move to nine under and tied 16th.
It was a frustrating day for Scott Henry, however, who carded a one over par 72 to slip back to three under for the tournament.
“It was just lazy, rubbish golf,” he admitted. “It’s really difficult and frustrating when you’re so far away from the lead. I just kept making silly mistakes.
“Tomorrow is another day though, so hopefully I can finish on a high note and then get home for a nice break after a long, hard season.”
Andrew McArthur is also on three under par after finding some form to card a four under par 67.

VAN PELT AND GARRIGUS SHARE LEAD AT KUALA LUMPUR

NEWS RELEASE FROM ASIAN TOUR
Kuala Lumpur: Title holder Bo Van Pelt of the United States charged to the top of the US$6.1 million CIMB Classic after a spectacular nine-under-par 62 saw him tie overnight leader Robert Garrigus in the third round on Saturday.
Van Pelt, who arrived for his defence in top form following a win in the Perth International last week, flirted with golf’s magical 59 as he was 11 under par through 17 holes. But he disappointingly dropped a double bogey on the 18th hole at the Mines Resort and Golf Club.
Garrigus overcame a sluggish start by finishing with three closing birdies for a 69 and shared the lead on 16-under-par 197 in the co-sanctioned Asian Tour and US PGA Tour event.
World number two Tiger Woods worked up the large crowds by tying for the lead briefly with an outward 30 but his challenge wilted under the Malaysian heat as he settled for a 69, dropping three bogeys and one double bogey to end the day five shots back.
South African Jbe Kruger, third on the Asian Tour’s Order of Merit, kept himself in the title hunt with a 69 putting him two strokes back while India’s rising star Gaganjeet Bhullar fired a fine 65 for tied 10th place alongside Woods.
“Obviously, disappointing to finish with a double but I look back on the 17 and a half holes I played, and, you know, hopefully that will carry over into tomorrow, not the last half,” said the 37-year-old Van Pelt.
“I was like seven back going into the day, so I dug a pretty big hole. Felt like you're going to need at least one really special round to try to give yourself a chance. I don't think I missed a fairway on the front nine. My irons were pretty sharp, and the putter, I had been close all week, and today they were going in. They weren't burning the edge,” he added.
While a mistake at the greenside bunker on 18 spoilt his hopes for a 59, Van Pelt, ranked 23rd in the world, lamented missed birdie opportunities on several holes. “I had obviously never had that good a chance to shoot a 59 before, and to be honest, I'll probably look back on it and think about the third hole (par five). I had a five iron in from the middle of the fairway and didn't make birdie.  I'll look back at 15, I'm 30 yards from the green with an easy pitch and don't make it.  Those are the holes that cost me more than 18,” he said.
Two opening bogeys wiped out Garrigus’ two-shot overnight lead almost immediately but the 34-year-old American battled back gamely. “I must have been tired or something,” he said of his start. “Didn't really have my golf swing that much today. I hit some bad shots, hit some bad putts, but sucked it up coming down there in the last.”
Woods had the large crowds following his group in a frenzy after he sank five birdies in his opening eight holes. As the birdies dried up, the American superstar made far too many errors, including a tee shot into the water for a double bogey on 14 and a three putt bogey on 17.
“The back nine I made too many mistakes.  I kept making bad decisions and bad swings,” lamented Woods. “I’m going to have to shoot a low one tomorrow.  Something similar to what Bo did. The problem with being this far back, I'm going to need help. A great round tomorrow might not win it.”
The slightly built Kruger hung around the leaderboard with an inward 33 giving him a realistic shot at the US$1.3 million top prize on Sunday.
“Concentration, as always.  It's probably the main thing.  I find if I take a second or two longer, I know I can concentrate a bit better. I just started to do that,” said the South African on his better fortunes in the back nine.
“One shot at a time. We'll see tomorrow. I've been hitting it probably as good as I've been hitting it the last four or five months.  So I'm actually feeling confident.”
