Scott Hend takes third-round lead at Thailand Classic

Australia's Scott Hend has taken a one-shot lead going into the final round of the inaugural True Thailand Classic.

The 41-year-old shot a six-under-par round of 66 to move one shot clear of local favourite Thongchai Jaidee and Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez.

Jimenez was the overnight leader following a 66 of his own on Friday, but could only manage three birdies in a bogey-free 69 on Saturday.

Jaidee, meanwhile, also registered a bogey-free round of 67. Hend would have been two clear had he not bogeyed the last after eagling the 609-yard par-five 13th.

Another Thai, Kiradech Aphibarnrat, is the next-best at 12-under, three behind Hend.
