Australian Richard Moir is just two shots from the lead midway through the third round at the Macau Open. Moir sits at nine-under-par having played 11 holes in his third round, with Indian Gaurav Ghei in the lead at 11-under-par having also played 11 holes. A further stroke behind Moir is fellow Australian Kane Webber who is five-under-par after 15 holes during his third round. Although only 10 players have finished their third round, the 26-year-old is happy to be in contention at the tournament he successfully won last year. “I was that far back that I had to do something to get going today,” said Webber. “I felt like my posture was out and I did a bit of work in the mirror in the hotel room last night and found a couple of things and it felt a lot better today.” Australian Scott Strange is well in contention at seven-under-par, while compatriots Brad Kennedy, Mitchell Brown and Unho Park are a further shot adrift.
