Gorontalo, Indonesia -- A 35-year-old man in Indonesia's Gorontalo Province had one of his testicles bitten off by an enraged horse, the animal's owner says.

The horse's owner, who was identified only as Budi, said the violent attack, which occurred while the unidentified man was unloading a cart being pulled by the horse, did not come as a major surprise, Jakarta News.Net reported.

"He even attacks chickens if they disturb him when he is eating. That's why I and my family are always careful whenever we are near him," Budi said of his horse.

Following Tuesday's attack at a construction site in the province's Bone Bolango district, the man was taken to a hospital for treatment.

The dismembered testicle was found by a bystander and the severed organ was also be sent to the hospital, Indonesia's ANTARA news agency said.

Bali, Indonesia -- A 5-under-par 67 in Saturday's third round helped Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee forge a one-stroke lead at the Indonesia Open in Bali.

Jaidee's 54-hole total, 9-under 207, leads Sweden's Alexander Noren (66) heading into Sunday's fourth and final round at Bali's New Kurta golf resort.

Jaidee opened his third round with five birdies on the front nine. Later, he closed with a 14-foot birdie at No. 18, which secured his spot at the top of the leader board.

"If you make the fairway, it's easy to get on the green," said Jaidee, who seeks his third win on the European Tour. "But the greens are also very tricky this week. On the 18th, I read the line well. It was a nice finish and I enjoyed it."

England's Ross McGowan (69), Simon Dyson (70), Richard Bland (66) and Simon Griffiths (69) and Denmark's Jeppe Huldahl (70) all are 7-under 209 to share second place.

Bali, Indonesia -- Steve Webster's second consecutive round of 3-under-par 69 was worth the lead Friday halfway through the European PGA Tour's Indonesia Open.

Webster is at 6-under 138 after 36 holes, which is one stroke better than Jamie Donaldson, Simon Dyson and Jeppe Huldahl, who are tied for second. First-round leader Angelo Que, who had an 8-under 64 Thursday, had a 76 in the second round and is tied for fifth place at 4-under for the tournament.

Webster opened his round with 10 consecutive pars and slipped a stroke with a bogey at the par-4 11th hole. He got that back at No. 12 and, after three more pars, closed with three consecutive birdies.

"I made a great birdie on the 12th with a 20-foot putt and all of a sudden I'm back in the game," Webster said. "The three birdies to finish were the icing on the cake really, but it was probably no more than I deserved after the way I

Bali, Indonesia -- Angelo Que, who made four consecutive birdies, fired an 8-under-par 64 Thursday for a 4-stroke, first-round lead at the European PGA's Indonesian Open.

Weather caused a two-hour stoppage of play and darkness forced suspension of first-round play for several golfers. They will complete the round Friday before the scheduled second round.

Among that group is Simon Dyson, who was at 4-under after 16 holes. That tied him with Tony Carolan, Andrew Dodt, Jamie Donaldson, Simon Khan, Antonio Lascuna and
Richie Ramsay for second place.

Que had a birdie at his first hole of the day -- the 10th -- but really took off after dropping a 40-foot birdie putt at No. 14. He followed that with birdies at Nos. 15-17. He added a birdie at No. 1 and got another at the third hole before moving to 8-under with a birdie at the eighth.
