11/09/2008 - Shanghai, China (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Oliver Wilson carded a three-under 69 in the third round Sunday and sits atop the leaderboard with the final round of the HSBC Champions suspended due to darkness.
The Monday finish was caused by Friday's play being washed out completely and another long weather delay on Saturday. Play will resume at 7:30 a.m. local time Monday (6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday).
When players return to Sheshan International Golf Club, everyone will be chasing Wilson. He stands at 12-under par and has completed just two holes of the final round.
With the delays earlier in the week, Wilson completed the third round at 12- under-par 204. He was one stroke clear of Geoff Ogilvy.
The 2006 U.S. Open champion posted a two-under 70 in the third round to move into second place at 11-under-par 205.
Defending champion Phil Mickelson used a 70 to climb into a share of third at minus-10. He was joined there by Sergio Garcia (72) and Henrik Stenson (72).
This is the first event of the 2009 season and starts the Race to Dubai, the season-long money race that replaces the Order of Merit and ends in the most lucrative tournament in golf, the $10 million Dubai World Championship.
Wilson carded four birdies and a bogey the third round. He parred the first two holes of the final round to remain atop the leaderboard.
"It didn't do any harm playing the few holes, it was nice and steady," said Wilson. "I hit one bad shot at the second which cost me a birdie, but I have a birdie chance at three from ten to 12 feet.
"I had the option to putt out. We had teed off and then they blew the horn, but we wanted to hit the shot in as the wind was calm and we were in the flow. But it was getting a little too dark to putt and I didn't want to miss it and be thinking about that overnight"
The Englishman, who made his first Ryder Cup appearance earlier this year, owned the 54-hole lead for the third time his European Tour career. However, he is still searching for his first tour title.
Ogilvy started the final round with a bogey on the first and a birdie on the second. He is alone in second at minus-11.
Mickelson is playing with Wilson and Ogilvy in the final threesome. He parred one and two to remain two back at minus-10.
Garcia dropped a shot on the second, but rebounded with a birdie on the third to match Mickelson at 10-under before play was called for the day.
Stenson started the final round tied for third. After a birdie on the first and a par on the second, he faltered to a double-bogey on the third to slide to nine-under par. He will start Monday's play alone in fifth place.
Adam Scott and Prayad Marksaeng are one shot back at minus-eight.
Nine players have completed 11 holes of the final round. They are the farthest along in the final round. Of those nine, Thomas Levet at even-par is the closest to the leaders.
World No. 8 Anthony Kim, who will play both the European and PGA Tours this season, was disqualified during the third round for playing with a damaged driver.
Kim was walking on the seventh hole with the driver in hand and the club hit a sprinkler head as he bounced it on the ground. The sprinkler caused some damage to the club and Kim kept playing with it.
After informing officials of the damage, Kim was later told he was disqualified for playing with a damaged or altered club.
