Shanghai - Northern Ireland's Darren
Clarke joined Dutchman Robert-Jan Derksen at the top of the
leadboard of the $2.3m Asian Open in the third round on
Saturday.
Clarke notched two birdies to join overnight leader Derksen
on six-under after nine holes, the pair opening a two-shot lead
over Britons Robert Dinwiddie and Miles Tunnicliff and Taiwan's
Lin Wen-tang.
France's Michael Lorenzo-Vera, joint second at the China
Open in Beijing last week, moved to three-under with Digvijay
Singh of India after a three-under 69.
Joint overnight leader Zhang Lianwei slid down the
leaderboard after dropping three strokes early in his round.
Zhang, China's first victor on the European Tour,
three-putted for a double-bogey on the fourth after spraying
his tee-shot wide, then followed up with a bogey on the fifth.
Twice US Open champion Retief Goosen was six strokes off
the lead with eight holes to play.
