JAKARTA (Reuters) - Ireland's Padraig Harrington put himself in a strong position to end his four-year victory drought by opening up a five-shot lead with 23 holes of the Indonesia Open remaining after Saturday's third round was cut short by poor weather.

The triple major champion has not won a full field tournament since lifting the 2010 Johor Open title on the Asian Tour but another four birdies over his 13 holes on the outskirts of Jakarta left him set to end that drought.
