World number 358, Padraig Harrington is on course to end 2014 on a high as he leads the Indonesian Open by five strokes.

Harrington was 16-under through 13 holes of his third round when bad weather – electrical storm – led to the abandonment of play for Saturday. He faces an 6:40am start on Sunday in order to finish out the round and, after a short break, commence his final 18 holes.

Closest challengers are Australia’s Nathan Holman (11-under) with Thanyakon Khrongpha of Thailand a shot further back. Harrington stands to win €320,000 if he can finish off his flying start in the Far East.

Meanwhile and the Hero World Challenge, Jordan Spieth leads the way. Tiger Woods remains in last position but improved seven shots (77 to 70) for his second round.
