Hend and Lahiri set to go head-to-head again in Macau (Reuters)

(Reuters) - Australian Scott Hend took charge of the Macau Open by carding a masterful seven-under-par 64 in the third round on Saturday to set up another final day shoot out with India's Anirban Lahiri.

The 2013 champion struck two eagle threes during his third round in the Chinese gambling enclave on Saturday to move onto 15-under and two clear of defending champion Lahiri, who pipped the Australian to the title last year.

The Indian, who had a difficult debut at the President's Cup last week, produced an eagle two to go with two birdies in his round of 68 as he looks for his third win on the Asian Tour this year.
