Australian golfer Scott Hend produced a moment of genius in the third round of the Maybank Championship in Kuala Lumpur that helped keep him in contention for the title.
The 45-year-old appeared to be in trouble down the right side of the par-five 18th after a wayward second shot had left him in among the trees.
