Hong Kong (My Sportsbook) - England's Oliver Wilson shot a five-under 65 to take the third-round lead Saturday at the Hong Kong Open.

Wilson stood at 13-under-par 197 for a one-shot lead over Lin Wen-tang (64) of Chinese Taipei and a two-stroke advantage over World Golf Hall of Famer Bernhard Langer (63) of Germany.

Pablo Larrazabal (64), Rory McIlroy (66), Jeev Milkha Singh (66) and Francesco Molinari (67) were another shot further back at 10-under 200, while Colin Montgomerie (68) was alone at nine-under 201.

Only four more players were within five shots of Wilson's lead heading into the final round at Hong Kong Golf Club.

Wilson, who lost a playoff to Sergio Garcia at the HSBC Champions two weeks ago, will take to the course Sunday seeking his long-awaited first victory on the European Tour.

Beginning the third round in a four-way tie for the lead with Louis Oosthuizen, Oliver Fisher and Chawalit Plaphol, Wilson opened with a bogey on his first hole. But he posted back-to-back birdies at the sixth and seventh and made the turn in 33 shots.

Wilson turned it on after that, collecting three birdies in a four-hole stretch to begin the back nine. He ended the round with the lead after making a birdie at the 17th hole.

"I am very happy with today," said Wilson. "[Winning on Sunday] will need a good round, but I'll just keep doing what I am doing and hopefully it will be enough."

The 28-year-old Englishman played on his first Ryder Cup team in September on the strength of four runner-up finishes in the 2008 season. He has eight runner-up finishes in his career.

Among those standing in the way of Wilson's first win are the 34-year-old Lin and the two-time Masters champion Langer, who counts the 1991 Hong Kong Open among his dozens of international victories.

The 51-year-old Langer, who won three times on the Champions Tour this season to claim that circuit's money title, also started with a bogey at the first hole Saturday. But he made an eagle, seven birdies and just one more bogey the rest of the way for his 63.

Langer holed out with a seven-iron for his eagle at the par-four seventh. Later, he made four consecutive birdies from the 13th hole to move within two strokes of the lead.

"It was kind of a strange day," said Langer, who won the 1985 and '93 Masters. "It is always great to be up on the leaderboard and it is always great to be in contention. That is what we practice for and what we work for -- to have a good chance on Sunday afternoon to win a tournament."
