Kochi (Japan): Jeev Milkha Singh displayed fine iron play and carded a bogey-free three-under 69 to get back into joint lead after the third round of the $ 1.19 million Casio World Open golf championship here on Saturday.

Jeev's 69 put him at 12-under 204 and in joint lead with Tetsuya Har Aguchi (70), who played with Jeev in the lead group and matched the Indian shot for shot.

The leaders were two clear of the next pack of three players at 10-under 206.

Jeev and Haraguchi shared the first round honours before the Japanese moved one shot ahead at the midway stage.

Hideki Kase (70), Toshinori Muto (69) and David Smail (67) were all tied third at 10-under 206. Two other players, Yoshikazu Haku (68) and Lin Keng-chi (69) were tied for sixth at nine-under 207.

Earlier, Michelle Wie failed to make the cut after shooting rounds of 81 and 80 and finishing 100th among 100 participants. — PTI
