Golf-Westwood takes charge in Indonesia after back nine of 29

JAKARTA, April 25 (Reuters) - Briton Lee Westwood produced a sparkling back nine of just 29 shots to wrest control of the Asian Tour's Indonesian Masters on Saturday.

The former world number one will take a five-shot lead into Sunday's final round after his seven-under-par 65 as he bids to claim the title for the third time following wins on his two previous appearances in 2011 and 2012.

He begun the day three shots off the lead but his sparkling run from the 12th, where he picked up seven shots in six holes despite a weather delay in between, put him well clear in the $750,000 event.
