Lockerbie finds Singapore swing to lead

European Tour rookie Gary Lockerbie today moved within touching distance of his first victory as a professional after carding a three-under-par 69 to share the third-round lead at the Clariden Leu Singapore Masters.

The 24-year-old from Cumbria fired seven birdies on the Masters course at Laguna National Golf and Country Club but missed a four-foot par putt at the 18th which dropped him back into a tie with China’s Liang Wen-Chong.
