HONG KONG – Aaron Rai shot a 2-under 68 Saturday in the third round to extend his lead from four to six strokes at the Hong Kong Open.

The 23-year-old Englishman is 16 under for the week after four birdies and two bogeys Saturday. Rai - who wears gloves on both hands while playing - shot a course-record 61 at Hong Kong Golf Club on Friday.

''Nothing is ever done until it's done and 18 holes is a lot of golf, a six-shot lead, a 10-shot lead, anything can happen,'' said Rai, who is looking for his first European Tour win.
