Trio Sit Two Clear At China Fleet - 14/12/2007

THREE PLAYERS will go into the final round of The China Fleet International Open tied at -10 following two days play at the Cornish golf course.

Phil Worthington, who has already won on the 2005 PGA EuroPro Tour, put himself in pole position on Thursday with a flawless round of 64, including eight birdies.

However, a 66 from Martin Sell saw him join Worthington at -10, while Andrew Willey produced an eagle at the 18th hole to complete a second successive round of 67.

They are closely followed by Ben St John (68,68) and Gavin McNeill, whose 65 put him in contention at -7.

Overnight leader Dean Barnes remained at -7 after following up Wednesday's 65 with a level par 72, and he is joined by Stephen Pullan, Mark Smith and Hiddo Uhlenbeck three shots off the pace.

Seven players are tied at -6, with rounds of 66 from Jack Doherty and Nathan Main seeing them jump up the leaderboard.

Lee Corfield hit a hole in one at the 129-yard seventh on his way to a round of 69, while 58 players made the cut at +1.
