Spot in the Masters within reach of Chinese teenager

Guan overcame some early nerves and a difficult course at Amata Spring in Bangkok Saturday with a par 72 to take a two-shot lead over Oliver Goss of Australia going into the final day of the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship.

Goss, a quarterfinalist in the US Amateur and winner last week in the Western Australia Open, shot a 69 in tougher conditions.

Guan began Saturday with a five-shot lead and dropped two shots on the front nine before he settled down with birdies on the 11th, 12th, and 14th.

WGC Lee Westwood made 11 birdies in a round of 61 to grab a share of the lead with Louis Oosthuizen after the third round of the HSBC Champions in Shenzhen, China.
