NAPA, California: South Korea’s Bae Sang-Moon fired a seven-under par 65 on Saturday to take a four-shot lead after three rounds of the US PGA Tour Frys.com Open.

Bae, seeking a second US PGA Tour title to go with his 2013 Byron Nelson Championship win, strung together five straight birdies from the second through sixth holes and bounced back from bogeys at the seventh and 13th with a strong finish.

He played the last four holes in four-under with a birdie at 15, an eagle at 17 and one last birdie at the par-five 18th on the Silverado Country Club North Course.

His 16-under par total of 200 gave him a four-shot lead over American rookie Zach Blair going into the final round of the first tournament of the US tour’s 2014-15 season.

Blair had five birdies in his three-under 69 for 204.

Overnight leader Martin Laird of Scotland settled for a 71 that saw him tied for third on 205 with Americans Matt Kuchar, Brooks Koepka and Scott Langley.

Kuchar climbed up the leaderboard with a six-under 66, Koepka fired a 67 and Langley carded a 69.

South Africa’s Retief Goosen carded a 66 to join a group on 206 that also included Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama (69), Sweden’s David Lingmerth (7) and American Hunter Mahan (68).

Levy wins rain-shortened Portugal Masters

In Villamoura, Portugal, France’s Alexander Levy claimed a second career title on Sunday when he won the Portugal Masters after the third and final round had to be abandoned due to heavy rain in Vilamoura.

In a tournament already reduced to 54 holes by lightning and heavy rain, another deluge left parts of the course unplayable shortly after the final group had teed off at 1pm.

The result was then called at 36 holes.

Levy, 24, carded rounds of 63 and 61 to finish with an 18 under par total having been just one of six players to complete their second rounds on Friday.

His title on Sunday came after winning the China Open in April.

Belgium’s Nicolas Colsaerts, who just missed a first ever 59 on the European Tour in the first round, was in second place, three shots off the lead.

China’s Li becomes youngest OneAsia winner

Meantime, China’s Li Hao-tong became the youngest winner on the OneAsia Tour after the 19-year-old shrewdly overcame some extreme winds to ease to a four stroke win at the $1 million China Masters.

“I think I am too young to win a Masters event,” joked the world No. 451 after his final round one-under-par 70 gave him a 275 total of nine-under.

“I could not stand sometimes when I was putting as the wind was so strong. I never played in wind like this.”

Lee Jun Seok of Australia fired an impressive 69 in the 40 miles per hour gusts to finish in second, while South Korean Todd Baek was a further two shots adrift in third after a 74.

Korean Kim Bi-o was the previous youngest winner on the circuit, which begun in 2009, when he claimed this event in 2011 aged 20.
