Oliver Wilson has once again put himself in pole position to clinch a maiden European Tour victory in the UBS Hong Kong Open.
But don’t hold your breath, because Wilson is an eight-time runner-up so far in his career, including two play-off losses this year!
However, he managed to fire a third round 65 on a day of low scoring to lead the international field by a shot going into Sunday’s final round.
Wilson is chased by Lin Wen-Tang from Chinese Taipei but a greater challenge may come from veteran Bernhard Langer, who rolled back the years with a thrilling round of 63 to sit two off the lead.
Northern Irish wonder-kid Rory McIlroy is currently three shots off Wilson and is residing in fourth place.
So does Oliver have what it takes to win? Or will he once again do the ‘English thing’ and come second?
If he does somehow manage to grab the win then not only will it be long overdue, but hopefully it will kick him on to win some more!
