Resurgent Gleeson takes over the lead at the Sabah Masters
Published on November 24, 2019
Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, November 24: Australian David Gleeson edged closer to his fourth Asian Tour victory after rolling in a clutch par putt from 12 feet on the last to seize the outright lead following the penultimate round of the Sabah Masters on Sunday morning.
The 41-year-old Gleeson, who was one-under-par through eight holes and three shots off the lead when play was suspended on Saturday, returned to par the ninth hole before firing three birdies against a bogey on his back nine for a three-under-par 68.

Gleeson compiled a three-day total of
10-under-par 203 to lead by one shot over Phachara Khongwatmai of Thailand, who
stumbled with a closing double-bogey to sign for a 71 which saw him fall off the
lead for the first time at the Sutera Harbour Golf and Country Club.
Chinese Taipei’s Wang Wei-lun battled
to a 70 to share third place with India’s Udayan Mane and Jakraphan Premsirigorn
of Thailand on matching 205s in the US$300,000 event, which is supported by the
Tourism Malaysia with an aim to boost tourism in Sabah.
With more than seven hours of play
lost due to inclement weather over the last three days and expected rain in the
afternoon, Tour officials have earlier made a decision for the tournament to spill
into Monday if the final group managed to complete 13 holes when play is
suspended on Sunday.
Should the final group, featuring Phachara, Dongha Lee and Sungho Lee, fail to get in at least 13 holes on Sunday, the fourth round will be cancelled and the tournament results will be based on the 54-hole scores.
