The 41-year-old has made a decent start to the season with two top-ten finishes at the Joburg Open and the Avantha Masters in his last outing.

However, the Ryder Cup (Europe 8/11 to win in the golf betting) star has failed to finish higher up the leaderboard thanks to a couple of poor final rounds.

Clarke looked to be on course to be challenging for the Avantha Masters title before a error-strewn final round cost him, must as it had done in Dubai the week before.

Clarke (8/1 to be the top European in Malaysia) is now targeting his first tournament success since he triumphant at the KLM Open in Holland in August 2008.

“I am not concerned by my lack of practice, I know what I am doing. But I need to start to eliminate those errors,” said Clarke.

“I have played really well and hit the ball the way I wanted to for the most part in every tournament I have played this year.”

With an unspectacular field against him Clarke has been made the fourth favourite by Betfred.com to claim the Malaysian Open title as he looks to deny the 8/1 pre-tournament favourite Tongchai Jaidee of winning his third title at the event.

The 28-year-old was tied for the lead with Anthony Kim (28/1 to win The Masters) going into the third round but raced into the lead with four birdies on the front nine.

While the back nine weren’t as good for Villegas as he made three bogeys in the first five holes he made a birdie at the 16th to put him firmly in control on eleven-under, three shots ahead of Nathan Green and Vijay Singh who are both on eight-under.

Villegas says his form on the front nine had surprised himself but was disappointed he hadn’t managed to get further ahead by dropping three shots on the back nine.

“Four-under on the front was pretty unbelievable the way it was playing,” Villegas said. “And then a couple hiccups there on the back, which is – I mean, you always wish that didn’t happen, but it’s golf and they happen.”

Elsewhere on the scoreboard the American duo of George McNeill (5/4 to win his fourth round two balls) and Matt Every (4/6) kept themselves in with a shout after both fired rounds of 69 to put them four behind Villegas  

Northern Ireland’s Graeme McDowell is the top European player going into the final round after a score of 71 on Saturday to leave him four-under overall.

Anthony Kim

Argentinian star Villegas carded his second consecutive 66 which allowed US Ryder Cup star Kim to move level with him as the race for the title intensifies.

Kim made seven birdies during his second round and was delighted to move into contention ahead of his third round two balls against Villegas (Kim 21/20, Villegas 20/21, Tie 8/1 The Honda Classic 3rd Round 2 Balls).

“I feel really good,” he said. “I’ve been working hard on my game, and the last couple of months I’ve really started to play better.

“I’m happy to have another opportunity to put four good ones together and hopefully have a chance to win the tournament on the back nine.”

Vijay Singh (6/1 Honda Classic In-Play) is a shot behind the leaders after a second-round 66 while Jerry Kelly (16/1) sits on six under par following his 65.

Thongchai Jaidee

Thailand’s Jaidee is looking for a third win at the tournament in Kuala Lumpur, after victories in 2004 and 2005, and started with an impressive round of 66 to leave him on -6 along with Kim Dae-hyun of South Korea.

Davies, building his European Tour career-high finish of sixth in Abu Dhabi at the start of the year, fired a bogey-free seven-under-par 65 to join Garrido at the top of the leaderboard.

US Tour regular KJ Choi (5/4 to win his 2nd round three-ball) dropped just one shot on the first day, to card a five-under-par 67 and join three other players on -5, two shots off the pace.

Seven players are a further shot back on -4, including former Ryder Cup star Thomas Bjorn and England’s Robert Rock. Defending champion Anthony Kang could only manage a one-over-par 73 on day one.
