KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 31 (Reuters) - American Justin Thomas produced a tidy up-and-down from the back of the 18th green for birdie to ensure he went in to Sunday's final round of the CIMB Classic tied for the lead with compatriot Brendan Steele.
Overnight leader Thomas, who flirted with a rare 59 before signing for an 11-under-par second round of 61, was again among the birdies on another day of low scores at the Kuala Lumpur Country Club, where preferred lies have been in use.
The 22-year-old mixed eight birdies with three bogeys in his third round of five-under 67 to sit on 20-under for the $7 million co -sanctioned Asian Tour event, the third of the new PGA Tour season.
