Schwartzel closes in on Westwood in Thailand

Lee Westwood saw his huge advantage in the inaugural Thailand Golf Championship reduced to four shots following the third round today, with South African Charl Schwartzel leading the chasing pack with a second successive 66.

Westwood had boasted an 11-stroke lead at the start of the day but he could not continue his stunning form as he carded a disappointing one-over-par 73 at the Amata Spring Country Club to slip back to 19 under for the tournament.
