JEJU, South Korea: Home favourite Kim Bi-O stayed on course forback-to-back OneAsia titles by shooting a five-under-par 67 onSaturday to take a two-stroke lead into the final round of the SKTelecom Open. But Bi-O's 13-under-par total 203 around the tricky Pinx Golf Clubtrack on the South Korean honeymoon island of Jeju was overshadowedby a blistering course-record 63 from compatriot Hur In-Hoi and a66 by a teen amateur. Kim Si-Woo, 16, shared second place with fellow South Koreans Hurand Joo Heung-Choi going into the final round. Joint overnight leader Park Sang-Hyun was a stroke further backafter shooting a 70, while Indonesia's Rory Hie -- who also had ashare of the lead at the start of the day -- shot a level 72 toremain at eight under. Bi-O, a two-time winner on OneAsia after victories in the NanshanChina Masters last year and again last week at the GS CaltexMaekyung Open in Seoul, is currently in second place on the tour'sOrder of Merit. He took a grip on the tournament at the par-five ninth when he puthis second shot to within six feet and converted for the only eaglethere of the day, OneAsia said in a press release. "I was in that position once," laughed Bi-O when asked what advicehe would have for the youngster Kim heading into the final round. "He mustn't get carried away," said Bi-O. "It is a great learningopportunity for him, but I am sure he will do very well." Kim Si-woo, clearly nervous in front of the Korean TV cameras afterhis round, nevertheless talked a brave game. "I want to be a professional one day, so it is better to learnsooner than later," he said. The round of the day belonged to Hur In-Hoi, who bettered thecourse record 64 set last year by a stroke. He started his roundwith four birdies and an eagle in the first five holes to make theturn in 30, before a more modest 33 on the back nine. K.J. Choi, with eight PGA tour wins arguably the best player Asiahas produced, is 10 shots off the pace after going three under onSaturday.
