Rai in sight of title

Rai shares the lead with in-form American rookie Jon­athan Moore.

Rai has a total of 17-under 199 total in the $67,000 Asian Development Tour event. Moore enjoyed five birdies and an eagle for a 65 which pushed him atop the leaderboard with Rai.

Co-overnight leader Artemio Murakami of the Philippines will start the final round one shot back after signing for a 68 while American Will Yanagisawa finished the day in fourth place after a 69.

Pat Perez played a fine round of six-under 65 for a two-shot. He is now 12-under 132.
