Golf-Flawless Wang surges ahead at Sun City (Reuters)

SUN CITY, South Africa, Nov 12 (Reuters) - South Korean Jeung-hun Wang defied difficult conditions at the Gary Player Country Club to shoot a superb third-round 64 and grab a three-shot lead in the European Tour's Nedbank Challenge on Saturday.

Only 17 of the remaining field of 70 posted below-par scores but Wang made a mockery of those struggles with the lowest round of the tournament, including six birdies and an eagle for a an aggregate total of 11 under par.

He finished three shots ahead of home favourite Louis Oosthuizen (70) with England's Andy Sullivan (68) in third on seven under, four shots behind the leader.
