PETALING JAYA: Overnight leader Choi Hye-jin showed no signs of taking her foot off the pedal, extending her lead to four strokes in the third round of the Maybank Championship at Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club yesterday.

The 26-year-old South Korean carded a five-under 67 to reach 19-under 197, maintaining control of the US$3mil (RM12.6mil) event despite a lone bogey on the 16th.
