Aussies fall back in Korea

Korean Ryu Hyun-woo scrambled to a 5-under-par 67 on Saturday to take a one stroke lead going into the final round of the OneAsia Tour's Maekyung Open.

Steve Jeffress shot 70 to be the best-placed Australian at 4-under, one better than Matthew Griffen (73).

Ryu, 12-under after three rounds, got lucky when overnight leader Kim Hyung-sung (71) bogeyed the last to slip down to second place at the Namseoul Country Club on the outskirts of the Korean capital.

Four players share third place at 9-under - Kang Kyung-nam (68), Lee Kyoung-hoon (69), Kim Do-hoon (70) and reigning Kolon Korea Open champion Kim Dae-sub (71).
