Golf-Japan's Tani opens up three-shot lead in Queen's Cup

BANGKOK, June 20 (Reuters) - Japan's Akinori Tani carded an error-free seven-under-par 64 on Saturday to take a three-shot lead over local favourite Prayad Marksaeng heading into the final round of the Queen's Cup.

Tani, who returned in the morning to finish his two remaining holes from the second round, took his three-day total to 11-under-par 202 at the Santiburi Samui Country Club.

Overnight leader Prayad was in second place after carding a 71 while Bangladeshi Siddikur Rahman hit a 67 to take third place, four behind the leader.

"I missed a couple of shots for birdies out there but overall, I cannot complain.
