Thongchai grabs 1-shot lead
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 15 - 11 - 2015

Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee will take a one-shot lead into the final round of the BMW Masters after a sparkling six-under-par 66 in Shanghai Saturday overhauled overnight leader Lucas Bjerregaard.
The 46-year-old Thai could have had a bigger advantage but for a disappointing bogey five at his final hole at Lake Malaren Golf Club to give the chasing pack hope.
Still, his 66 left him at 15-under 201, one clear of Bjerregaard (70), South Korea's An Byeong-hun (66) and Sergio Garcia of Spain (67).
Sweden's Kristoffer Broberg shot a 64 to move up to 13-under and fifth place, one ahead of a high caliber group that included Henrik Stenson (65), American Patrick Reed (64) and English trio Ross Fisher (67), Paul Casey (68) and Ian Poulter (68). Australian Marcus Fraser produced a grandstand finish to his round by holing a five wood from 231 yards at the last for an eagle two, completing a back nine of 29 and round of 65 to move into a share of 11th on 11-under.
Lee at home in Mexico City
Australian teenager Minjee Lee felt right at home half a world away as she carded a three-under-par 69 to earn a one-stroke lead over four players after the second round at the Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Mexico City Friday.
Lee, the top amateur in the world before she turned professional last year, posted a six-under 138 halfway total, with Americans Christina Kim (66) and Angela Stanford (70) and South Koreans Park In-bee (71) and Kim Sei-young (66) on five-under.
Lee, a two-time Australian amateur champion who won the LPGA Kingsmill Championship in May, has made a smooth transition to the professional game. The tournament, hosted by the retired 27-times LPGA winner Lorena Ochoa, is the penultimate event of the LPGA season.
McDowell ahead
Former US Open champion Graeme McDowell fired nine birdies in an impressive eight-under par 63 Friday to grab the lead in the US PGA Tour's OHL Classic at Mayakoba.
McDowell, playing the early-season event in Mexico as well as next week's McGladrey Classic in a bid to bounce back from a disastrous 2014-15 campaign, had a 12-under par total of 130 and a one-shot lead over American Derek Fathauer.
Fathauer carded a five-under par 66 for 131.
He was one stroke in front of South Korean Kim Si-woo, who posted a 64 and American Harold Varner, who had 10 birdies in a sizzling nine-under par 62.
McDowell teed off on 10 and his four birdies in his first nine holes included three straight at 16, 17 and 18.
His only bogey of the day came at the par-four first — where he took double-bogey Thursday. — Agencies
