Here is everything you need to know from Saturday at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea.

Weather interrupts play

Morning fog and rain in Incheon forced the afternoon tee times to be pushed back by more than two hours, with the final group getting under way at 15.30. While many players were able to finish their rounds on Saturday night, co-leader Pablo Larrazábal and a handful of others must return early on Sunday morning to play the final few holes.

MacIntyre wows the crowds

Robert MacIntyre impressed the home crowds early in his third round, spinning this approach shot to within a few feet of the hole at the first...

He then holed an absolute monster at the eighth before showcasing his remarkable short-game skills with some impressive par saves. The Scot signed for a third-round 69 to join Larrazábal at the summit on eight under heading into day four.

Vocal locals back home favourite Park

Park Sanghyun received vocal support from the home crowds as the popular South Korean kept himself in contention in windy conditions. He made three birdies and four bogeys in his first 14 holes to sit one shot off the lead with four holes still to go.

Mansell's big finish

After mixing three birdies with three bogeys in his first 12 holes, Richard Mansell's round burst into life late on the back nine as he reeled off birdies at the 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th to get to six under par.
