62 to take a four-stroke lead after the third round of the Perrier Hong Kong Open. The 28-year-old had an eagle on the third hole and finished with seven birdies, for a three-round total of 13-under- par 197. Only a bogey on the fifth hole marred his performance, which matched the 62 set by Nick Faldo in the Johnnie Walker Classic in Hong Kong in 1993. "I have been playing well all week and I am under no pressure," said Sjoland. Ian Woosnam of Wales fired a 66 to stay in contention.
