Rintaro Nakano of Japan finished off a 3-under 67 on Saturday morning and finished the weather-delayed Asia-Pacific Amateur with a one-shot lead when the third round was suspended by darkness. Nakano managed one birdie in the four holes he played in the third round and was at 8-under par, two shots ahead of Wenyi Ding of China and Rizq Adam Rohizam of Malaysia. Ding, a former U.S. Junior Amateur champion, is the highest-ranked player in the field at No. 5 in the world amateur ranking.
