The Scottish duo of Scott Jamieson and Grant Forrest will need to do a “Monty” if they are to capture the inaugural Singapore Classic.

The Tartan duo share 11^th place at 10-under but just four adrift of the leading duo of South Korean Jeunghun Wang and Spaniard Alejandro Del Ray tied at 14-under.

Nineteen years ago, Monty came from five shots back heading to the last day to win by three on this week’s same Laguna National course on the small island nation.

The 27-year-old Wang had been four shots off the lead at the halfway stage but fired a third-round 66, which featured five successive birdies from the 12th, to lead the way alongside del Ray.

Wang said: “I think I played really well today and the last two days as well. I changed my putter two weeks ago and that has worked really well. I think that’s the reason I’ve played so well.

“I didn’t really think about birdies. I just kept playing, aiming at the flag and it worked.

“I still cannot believe I’m here. I’m really excited to play every event.

“I’m not thinking about winning right now. I’ll just play my own game tomorrow and hopefully it will work.”

Del Rey, who played in the same group as Wang on Moving Day, carded an eagle, seven birdies and three bogeys in his 66.

Del Rey, who in 2021 shot a historic 58 on the European Challenge Tour, started his third round strongly on Saturday, opening up with three consecutive birdies.

He sandwiched another birdie between bogeys at the ninth and 11th before going birdie-eagle-birdie from the 12th to surge into contention.

And although he bogeyed the 16th, a closing birdie means Del Rey goes into the final round with a share of the lead.

He said: “It’s a place that suits me pretty well and it’s about dropping the putts.

“They’ve dropped pretty well so far. I hope to continue tomorrow.”
