Higley and Gonzalez share third-round lead in Malaysia

little-known Englishman Marcus Higley was enjoying his new status today after the Challenge Tour graduate rolled in a monster birdie putt at the final hole to draw level with Argentina’s Ricardo Gonzalez for the third-round lead at the Maybank Malaysian Open.

The 32-year-old joined Gonzalez at the top of the leaderboard on seven-under-par 209 at Saujana Golf and Country Club after sinking a 35-foot birdie at the 18th for a two-under 70.
