HUA HIN, Thailand (AP) -- Scott Hend of Australia shot a 70 to retain the lead after the third round of the Thailand Classic on the par-72 Black Mountain Golf Course.

The 43-year-old Hend produced five birdies for a three day total of 14 under-par 202 to take a two-shot advantage Saturday over Peter Uihlein of the United States.

''I knew it was going to be a tough day, very windy so I'm very pleased,'' said Hend, in search of his eight Asian Tour title. ''It's not very often you get a chance to lead a tournament on a Saturday night, let alone on a Sunday.
