Rai extends his lead to six at Hong Kong Open
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.
Matthew Fitzpatrick (68) and 2017 Race to Dubai winner Tommy Fleetwood (66) share second place, six off the pace at 10 under.
