Aguilar moves two clear in Indonesian Open

The 33-year-old, only the second Chilean to earn a place on the European Tour after Roy Mackenzie, carded a three-under-par 67 to lead by two strokes. India's Jeev Milkha Singh and 2007 Asia Order of Merit winner Liang Wen-chong are Aguilar's closest challenges on 14 under overall.

After a blistering eight-under-par 62 yesterday, Aguilar was more subdued on the course today, starting his round with a bogey on the first.

But a birdie on the par-four seventh was followed by an eagle on the par-five ninth - the Cengkareng Golf Club's signature hole - to reach the turn at two under.

He added another birdie on the 11th to briefly stretch his lead to three strokes, but was unable to increase that margin as he made par on the remainder of the holes coming home.

"I didn't strike the ball as solid as I did yesterday but overall it was a good round," said Aguilar.

"I had a couple of lip outs on the first few holes but after that I managed to stick to the strategy and the game plan of hitting fairways and greens and letting the club do the talking."

Singh has performed consistently well this week and completed the third round with a five-under-par 65 - picking up six birdies and dropping just one shot.

Liang, meanwhile, produced his best score of the tournament with a six-under-par 64 that keeps him in the hunt for a second-ever victory on the European Tour.

South African James Kamte and Thailand's Prom Meesawat are a further stroke behind after they both carded 68s.

Luton-born Philip Golding finished the day as the highest-placed Brit with a five-under-par 65 and is 10 under overall, six strokes behind Aguilar.

The 2003 French Open winner climbed the leaderboard after picking up five birdies on the front nine and making par on the rest.

He dropped a shot on the par-three 12th but immediately cancelled it out on the following hole.

Things looked promising when Golding added another birdie on the par-four 15th, sending his approach shot to within five feet of the pin before rolling the ball into the hole to put him just two strokes off the lead.

But he was unable to build on that, bogeying the 17th to drop to 10 under where he remained for the day.

Irishman Paul McGinley shook off the effects of jet lag to produce his best round of the tournament so far.

Five birdies and just one bogey ensured he was in the clubhouse with a four-under-par 66 and is seven under overall.

Darren Clarke endured a frustrating round in which he found birdie putts hard to come by and finished level par, 11 strokes off the lead.

Defending champion Mikko Ilonen looks unlikely to retain the trophy after a disappointing one-over-par 71 that left him also 11 strokes off the pace.
