Westwood Solidifies Lead At CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters Presented By PNTS


Jakarta, April 21, 2012 - Lee Westwood of England continued to dominate the CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters presented by PNTS when he returned Sunday morning to complete the third round with a seven-under-par 65.

Westwood, who finished third at the Masters tournament two weeks ago, holds a distant eight-shot lead over Korea’s Lee Sung, who posted a 67 at the US$750,000 Asian Tour event.

The third round was suspended yesterday due to a lightning threat which meant a total of 69 players returned at 6.45am today to complete their rounds at the Royale Jakarta Golf Club.

Gaganjeet Bhullar of India, a two-time Asian Tour winner, fired a 65 to lie in tied third place with former Asian Tour number one Thaworn Wiratchant of Thailand and Kieran Pratt of Australia, nine shots from Westwood.
