OBERWALTERSDORF, Austria -- Jeev Milkha Singh of India shot an 8-under 63 Saturday, including an eagle, to lead the Bank Austria Open by four strokes.

His 15-under 127 total tied the lowest 36-hole score on the European Tour this season.

"I am happy with the way that I have played," Singh said. "I was bogey-free, and holed a great long putt on the last for eagle."

Simon Wakefield of England (65) trailed Singh, and Mark Brown of New Zealand (63) and Peter Fowler of Australia (67) were five shots behind the leader.

The tournament was reduced to 54 holes after rain canceled play Thursday.

Singh eagled the final hole, sinking a 35-foot putt, to take his commanding lead into the final day. His 63 would have equalled the course record but for the preferred lies in operation on the saturated course.

"I'm very pleased with the way I played, especially to have no bogeys and ending with a 35-foot putt for eagle on the last," said Singh, the son of a former Olympic sprinter nicknamed "the Flying Sikh. "Being 15 under in two rounds does not come too often -- I can't remember the last time I did that so I'm very happy the way I managed myself on the golf course.

"When you get to a certain score you get ahead of yourself, but I didn't do that," he added. "I'm thinking about the win but my main goal on Sunday is to stay in the present and see what comes my way."

Wakefield had earlier moved into contention for his first European Tour title despite the unwelcome intervention of an air raid siren.

The 34-year-old was lining up a birdie putt on the 18th green during his second round when the siren sounded, and after stepping away from the shot to compose himself, narrowly missed from 12 feet.

"I didn't know what the siren was and I had to turn round to see if it was the one to call play off with the thunderstorm that had been forecast," said Wakefield after settling for a 65. "Thankfully my playing partner Clemens Prader is a local and he said they do it at noon on Saturdays in Austria, so I just got on with it."

Pre-tournament favorite Darren Clarke, playing alongside Singh, could only add a 69 to his opening 70 to finish 3 under par, just inside the cut mark.

But former U.S. Open champion Michael Campbell, optimistic after an opening 69, suffered his seventh missed cut in nine events after collapsing to a 78, and Ryder Cup star David Howell also bowed out after a 73.
