KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Nacho Elvira took a big step toward clinching a first European Tour title after he fired a 6-under-par 66 for a two-shot advantage over David Lipsky after the third round at the Maybank Championship on Saturday.
Elvira has been on song since the opening round where he joint-led the standings, and he maintained that consistency with seven birdies to reach 13 under in sweltering conditions at the Saujana Golf & Country Club.
Scott Hend, Maximilian Kieffer and Jazz Janewattananond are in a tie for third at 10 under, with Ernie Els a further shot back.
