Singh, who won this event in 1993, birdied the last two holes to take his total to a seven- under-par 206, one stroke in front of the American Bobby Wadkins, who shot a 69. Tied for third place at five under are Britain's Nick Faldo, who shot 68, and America's Bruce Fleisher, who had a 69.
Faldo had a bogey-free round, but missed several short birdie attempts. "An hour's putting practice ought to help out for tomorrow," Faldo said.
Most of the second-round leaders stumbled on Saturday, most notably the US Open champion Ernie Els, who began the day a stroke off the lead but three-putted his way to a four-over-par 75, six shots behind Singh.
Singh suffered just one bogey, when he missed a four-foot putt for par, the only putt inside six feet he missed all day. "Hopefully I can play the same tomorrow," he said. "I just had three weeks off and I'm charged up and ready to play. I can be aggressive because I'm hitting my driver beautifully."
