Peerless Schwartzel turns the screw in Thailand

Charl Schwartzel tightened his grip on the Thailand Golf Championship on Saturday, taking a five-shot lead into the final day as he edged closer to ending a wretched 20-months without a win.

Schwartzel, who has not tasted victory since the US Masters in 2011, kept the chasing pack at arms-length with a controlled four under 68 for the day giving him 18 under overall at the Asian Tour event.

While it was not as polished as his flawless matching 65s in the opening two rounds, the South African enters Sunday confident of a pillar-to-post victory and the chance to avenge his second place last year to Lee Westwood.

"I feel comfortable, I won't change (my approach) I will just keep playing and see where it leads to... it's a game of patience and if it's my time, it's my time," said Schwartzel, who was runner-up at the event last year. Sweden's Daniel Chopra is in second at 13 under overall, after a three under 69, while home favourite Thitiphun Chuayprakong gamely notched five birdies to offset four bogeys and goes into the final day finish 12 under.

The 20-year old needs to maintain his form while hoping for a wobble from Schwartzel and Chopra who sits a shot ahead of him.

"There's a bit of pressure playing with Charl Schwartzel, but today I coped with it," a smiling Thitiphun told reporters. "I was a little nervous at the first tee, but after I hit the ball the nerves were all gone." Australian Scott Hend, who is 12th on the Asian Tour's Order of Merit, is poised in fourth on nine-under for any wobbles by the leading trio. Chopra, who has won twice on the PGA tour in a chequered career, vowed to push Schwartzel all the way on Sunday.
