April 14<\/span> (Reuters) – Louis Oosthuizen remained on target to
\nsuccessfully move on from last week’s heartbreak of narrowly
\nmissing out on a U.S. Masters victory with a one-shot lead after
\nthe unfinished third round at the Malaysian Open on Saturday.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Scotland’s Stephen Gallacher trailed South African
\nOosthuizen by one shot at 12-under par with seven holes of his
\nthird round remaining, while Rafael Cabrera-Bello, Danny Willett
\nand David Lipsky were tied for third on 10-under.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Oosthuizen, who also led by a stroke at the halfway stage of
\nthe co-sanctioned European and Asian Tour event, is still
\nrecovering from losing out to American Bubba Watson on the
\nsecond extra hole in Augusta on Sunday.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2010 British Open champion was at 13-under par after 10
\nholes of the penultimate round when thunderstorms and rain ended
\nplay early for the second consecutive day at the Kuala Lumpur
\nGolf Country Club.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“You never know with the weather here so you are trying to
\nget ahead of the guys just in case all of a sudden it becomes a
\n54 hole event,” Oosthuizen told reporters.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“I feel good now. I made good putts on nine and ten for
\nbirdie and I have another birdie putt to come back to in the
\nmorning so it feels really good. I am playing well and just have
\nto keep giving myself chances.”<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The four-time European Tour winner made a 30-hour journey
\nfrom Augusta National to take part in the $2.5 million
\ntournament in the Malaysian capital and, with his family around,
\nhe was still struggling to get over the jet lag.
