Francesco Molinari will not be changing his plan when he goes in search of a second World Golf Championships win at the WGC-HSBC Champions on Sunday.
The Italian won this event in 2010 and arrived at Sheshan International Golf Club looking for a second consecutive European Tour triumph after his win at the Italian Open.
With leader Hideki Matsuyama five shots ahead of him, you could forgive Molinari for taking an aggressive approach on Sunday on a layout still very soft after recent rain.
But the 33 year old believes he can put himself in with a chance as long as he continues to hit fairways.
"Hideki is stretching his lead a little bit," he said. "It was good to get a birdie to finish. He's going to start with a five-shot lead over me tomorrow. So it's going to be hard to catch him but it's a decent position going into Sunday. I'm playing well, so I just need to keep it going one more day.
"You still need to respect it and to hit fairways, hit greens. With the greens being soft like that this week, you can be a little more aggressive with the shots to the greens but the premium is hitting fairways. That's going to be the main priority tomorrow and hopefully some good shots into the green with some nice putts."
Molinari ended his round on Friday with three birdies and made it six in a row with a flying start in round three, adding another gain on the last to help him to 68.
"I started where I left off yesterday," he said. "It was a really good start, made some really good putts at the first and at the third. Then the birdies stopped.

"I had a pretty good finish, fewer mistakes than yesterday which is good. Maybe a few more birdies would have been nice but hopefully tomorrow."
Ross Fisher will start the final round seven shots behind but is determined to be in a position to capitalise should there be any relent from Matsuyama.
"You've just got to play very, very well," he said. "I've shot low here in the past. Saturday last year I shot 65.
"It's one of those courses where you need to get off to a good start. The first is a tough hole this week, playing into the wind.
"You hit good drives on the par fives, you can get there in two. So if you can get to four or five under par after nine, try and keep that going on the back nine and hopefully shoot a low number."
