KOTA KINABALU (MALAYSIA), NOV 6: Indian professional Arjun Atwal carded two under par 70 to stay at the joint fourth slot while his compatriot Amandeep Johl shot a par 72 round to slip to the 12th place at the end of the third day of the US $ 150,000 Sabah Masters Golf today.

American Robert Huxtable continued his superhuman performance as he reached 21 under par, after firing a third round five under 67 and opened a six stroke lead over Thailand’s Thongchai Jaidee.

The lowest total on the Davidoff Tour is 26 under par by India’s Jeev Milkha Singh in the Philip Morris Asia Cup in Korea in 1996. Huxtable will have a good chance to better that score in the final round.
