World No. 1 Jordan Spieth and South Korean Song Young-han will return Monday to complete their battle for the Singapore Open title after stormy weather agonizingly stopped play at the climax of their final rounds. Song had a 10-foot putt on the 16th green to stay at 12-under-par, while Spieth was presiding over a five-foot birdie effort on the last to sign for an 11-under total when play was halted just before 3 p.m. (0700 GMT) because of inclement weather. "Assuming I make that putt on 18 that is going to put some pressure on," Spieth told reporters after shooting four-under for his 17 holes. China's Liang Wenchong was the leader in the clubhouse at 10-under after shooting a final round two-under 69 but he missed a short birdie effort on the last hole, 10 minutes before the rains started. Despite hopes of a quick resumption, organizers of the Asian Tour and Japan Golf Tour event eventually called off play at 6 p.m with lightning still in the vicinity. Twelve players will come back Monday morning at 7:30 a.m. to finish their round. The event has been hit by poor weather all week and the first two days were curtailed by storms with Song and Spieth among those returning at 7:30 am Sunday to complete their third rounds. Song played five holes to sign for a two-under 69 while Spieth went bogey-birdie to close his third round of 70 to sit five back of the South Korean world No. 204, who was looking for his first tournament win. Choi in sight of victory South Korean veteran K.J. Choi moved within sight of his ninth PGA Tour victory when he earned a share of the lead with American Scott Brown after the third round at the Farmers Insurance Open Saturday. Choi birdied the par-five 18th to shoot even-par 72 and join Brown (70) at nine-under-207, one shot ahead of Jimmy Walker and Gary Woodland at Torrey Pines in southern California. Twenty-three players are bunched within four shots on a packed leaderboard, with rain and strong winds forecast to lash the course in the final round Sunday. Swede Jonas Blixt shot his second straight 66 to vault within two shots of the lead, an unlikely position after he opened with a 77. The day provided plenty of excitement, with American Ben Crane and Swede Freddie Jacobson both holing out with long irons to eagle the par-four 15th, but Jason Gore's albatross from 250 yards an the par-five 18th was the pick of the bunch. Jang makes history South Korean Jang Ha-na made history with an albatross, as Swede Anna Nordqvist and English teenager Charley Hull earned a share of the third-round lead at the Pure Silk Bahamas LPGA Classic Saturday. Jang hit a three-wood at the 218-yard eighth hole, and her ball bounced in front of the green before rolling into the cup for the first albatross on a par-four in recorded LPGA history. Jang, 23, said she did not see the ball go into the hole, but realised something good had happened when her father standing near the green thrust his arms into the air. As Jang approached the hole, she dropped to her knees and kissed the ground at the Ocean Club course on Paradise Island. Jang's five-under-par 68 left her five shots behind co-leaders Nordqvist (68) and Hull (69), who were at 12-under 207 on a crowded leaderboard, with five others bunched within two shots. — Agencies
