David Gleeson is in a tie for seventh place to be the best placed Australian after round three of the Taiwan Masters in Taipei. Gleeson shot a two-under par 70 to move to three-under overall, but still trails leader Lu Wen-teh by seven strokes. The defending champion holds a one-shot lead over Thai star Thaworn Wiratchant who recorded a 67 at the Taiwan Golf and Country Club. “I did not have a very good round today but it was enough to get on top. I made the birdies where it mattered and kept it in play.” “It&aposs going to be exciting as I will be playing with my friend Thaworn tomorrow. I&aposve been playing with him for over 20 years even back in my amateur days. I know him well. But out on course, it&aposs down to business as we will both be gunning for the title,” said Lu, who won the event back in 1994 and 1996 before his success in 2007. American-based Anthony Kang shot the lowest round of the day after a 66 pushed him up to third place. The consistent Marcus Both is by himself at one-under to be in 13th place overall, with Mitchell Brown a further shot behind. Richard Moir, Neven Basic and Gavin Flint are in a group of seven players at one-over with one round left to play.
