FANLING, China, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Alvaro Quiros posted a bogey-free 3-under-par 67 Saturday in moving to the front with one round to play at the European Tour's Hong Kong Open.

Quiros is at 10-under 200 after 54 holes. He's one stroke ahead of Peter Hanson, who had four birdies in his last eight holes Saturday in a round of 5-under 65.

Y.E. Yang, who also had a 65 Saturday, and Pariya Junhasavasdikul (67) are tied for second at 8-under.

Rory McIlroy, who has shared the lead after each of the first two rounds, had two bogeys and two pars Saturday for an even-par 70 that settled him in fifth place at 7-under for the tournament.

Quiros started the round tied with McIlroy but was alone in first after McIlroy had bogeys at Nos. 4 and 5. Quiros got his first birdie of the day at the seventh hole. He added another at the par-5, 529-yard 12th hole.

Hanson also got to 9-under to tie for the lead briefly but Quiros dropped an 8-foot putt at the 18th hole for the outright lead.
