Sato extends lead at Chongqing Championship
After carding 15 birdies in his opening two rounds, it came as no surprise to see Sato was thrilled with his performance.
"I played so well. Putting was so-so, but my ball-striking was great again today. It feels great to play so well again. I hope that I can keep playing well this weekend because I want to win the tournament."
Huang has played across a number of Tours, including the European Tour, Asian Tour, and PGA TOUR Series-China, to name a few, and is known for his ability to get on a roll once he gets into a rhythm. That was certainly the case Friday.
After starting his day with a birdie on the par-3 11th, Huang kept the pedal down, adding four more birdies on his front nine to make the turn at 5-under. He then birdied holes 1, 4, 5, 7 and 9 to close a memorable round that included more birdies than pars.
Chasing the leaders in a tie for fifth at 10-under are Chinese duo Yang Yinong (66) and amateur Liang Enqi (68), American David Kocher (66), and Chinese Taipei's Chiehpo Lee (68).
