CHONBURI, Thailand — Clement Sordet of France produced an unblemished 9-under-par 63 to steal the lead from Jamie Donaldson of Wales by two strokes after the third round of the Thailand Golf Championship on Saturday.
Sordet made seven birdies and eagled the par-5 15th hole for the outright lead, his first on the Asian Tour. Sordet turned pro this year after graduating from university in the United States, and usually competes on the European Tour's second-tier Challenge Tour.
"I just stayed patient, but honestly I had no idea I was 9-under at the end," he said. "So, 9-under, I'm pretty happy about it.
