ernd Wiesberger is well positioned to cap a superb month of golf with victory in the Malaysian Open after shooting a 9-under 63 on Saturday, taking a two-shot lead going into the final round.

He moved to 17-under 199 overall at Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club, two strokes ahead of Spain'€™s Alejandro Canizares, who finished his roller-coaster round eagle-birdie-bogey to card a 68.

Defending champion Lee Westwood struggled for much of the round before picking up birdies on his final two holes to sit three off the pace following a 69.

The Englishman is in a tie for third on 14-under alongside compatriot Paul Waring, who carded a 65 featuring two eagles, six birdies and three bogeys.

The round of the day belonged to Indian Anirban Lahiri, who produced a bogey-free 62 that put him in outright fifth on 12-under.

They are all chasing the white-hot Wiesberger, who has started 2015 with a tied sixth in Abu Dhabi, third in Qatar and tied fourth at the Dubai Desert Classic to move into the world'€™s top 50 for the first time.
