Molinari holed out for eagle at 13 to tie the low round for the day.
SHANGHAI -- Francesco Molinari holed out for eagle from the 13th fairway, matched the lowest score of the third round and still had to make a 10-foot birdie putt on the last hole to keep the lead over Lee Westwood in the HSBC Champions on Saturday.
Westwood looked like he might finally catch up when he chipped from just off the green on the par-5 18th to tap-in range for birdie and a 5-under 67. Molinari, who had to lay up on the hole, knocked in his putt from the back of the green for a 67.
They have been separated by one shot after every round, and the duel figures to be settled Sunday at Sheshan International.
Molinari was at 14-under 202.
"It was a really eventful round, and it was a bit of a roller coaster, because I hit some great shots and some not-so-great shots," Molinari said. "All in all, I'm obviously very happy. To still be one in front of Lee going into Sunday, it's a really good position."...READ MORE
