3 share lead in wet Shenzhen

SOUTH Korea’s Lee Soo-min, Frenchman Alexander Levy and Lee Slattery of England shared the lead yesterday as the storm-hit Shenzhen International went into a fifth day at Genzon Golf Club.

After more than 6-1/2 hours were lost on days one and two due to thunderstorms, another extended break yesterday meant the final round could not be completed.

The stage is now set for a shootout today at the course in Shenzhen, south China’s Guangdong Province.

Lee, Levy and Slattery were all 14 under on the back nine when play was stopped due to darkness, ensuring that 23 players would have to return early today to complete their rounds.

Lee and Slattery had completed 13 holes and Levy faces a birdie putt on the 13th green when play gets under way again at 6.30am today.

Lee is seeking a first European Tour win in just his sixth event, while Levy eyes a second success on the course after winning the Volvo China Open in 2014.

Australian Scott Hend is in the clubhouse at 13-under after a bogey-free 66. South African Brandon Stone and Dutchman Joost Luiten are also 13-under.

Two-time major winner Bubba Watson of the United States returned an impressive 6-under 66 to be 10-under along with four others.
