UBS Hong Kong Open day three - What they said

SSP Chawrasia will take a one-shot lead into the final round of the UBS Hong Kong Open after a 69 moved him to ten under on Saturday.

Rafa Cabrera Bello - on the way to a third round 64 at the UBS Hong Kong Open

Here, we take a look at what some of the chasing pack had to say after their third rounds.

Rafa Cabrera Bello (64, -9)

"I think I'm going to be within reach so I do believe that I can win it for sure. I don't think it would mean more, I think it would be just a little extra special. The fact that last year I finished runner-up and this year perhaps I could win it. There's still a lot of golf to be played."

Wade Ormsby (65, -9)

"It's nice to have a strong day out there. Made a few putts early to keep it going and played pretty solid through the middle there. Didn't quite hit it close enough at the end but all in all, a good day. Sometimes after four weeks you can be a bit rusty. Had a bit of practice yesterday afternoon and got the ball-striking more where I wanted it. Hit some better shots today, I guess it resulted in a good score This place is always more or less the same, the same kind of score wins. Just got to keep yourself in the game and give yourself a chance. I won't be changing what I'm doing, just go and play my game."

Tommy Fleetwood (66, -8)

"I played really, really  well, felt like the ball just wouldn't go in the hole at times. I had a few chances early on, like five, six, seven-footers, I hit good putts that just didn't go in. It was just a really steady round. Made one bad mistake on 15 which can happen around here. Moved on quickly and nice birdie on the last hole always makes you feel a lot better. It's a great position. Today, playing like that, I feel really comfortable. Hopefully just keep those swing-thoughts and keep doing what I'm doing. I put it in play a lot and hit a lot of good iron shots. It is difficult to make birdies out there but all you can do is keep putting yourself in position and a round like today, that can only help for tomorrow."

Alexander Björk (67, -8)

"It was a good round, I was playing very well. It's a little mixed feelings right now because I left a few birdies out there the last four holes and then made bogey on the last one. So I felt like it was supposed to be a little better but still a good round. Tgame plan is probably to catch him, try to play as I did today. Today was very good from tee-to-green. I had the worst round of putting today so if I can get that one right tomorrow and still play like I did today from tee-to-green, that would be very good."
