DP World Tour : AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open Leaderboard
Louis Oosthuizen moved himself into pole position to make it back-to-back wins on the DP World Tour with a third-round 65 at the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open.
The South African lifted the trophy last time out at the Alfred Dunhill Championship and five days later opened up a one-shot lead as he moved to -14 at Heritage La Réserve Golf Club.
Countryman Jacques P de Villiers was the nearest challenger after firing a 68 -13 two shots clear of England's Laurie Canter, who carded a 65 to get to -11
South Africans Jaco Prinsloo 67 -10 and Jayden Schaper 67 -10 were then four shots off the lead.
Oosthuizen - who helped design this week's layout alongside Peter Matkovich - made three eagles in his round to go with four birdies and two bogeys.
"I think that was the first time I ever did three eagles in one round and I missed a short putt for eagle on eight," he said.
"I played really well, I got very lucky on number 12 finding my ball and then made a big putt for birdie, but all in all just played well.
"I was giving myself opportunities and I still feel like I'm rolling the ball good on the green so hopefully I can do the same tomorrow.
"I'm playing well so it's all going to be on how I manage myself and think process around this golf course.
"It's nerve-wracking and exciting at the same time to come here as the co-designer but Peter has done a phenomenal job."
South Africans Pieter Moolman and Lyle Rowe carded rounds of 69 and 70 respectively to sit at -9, a shot clear of countrymen Darren Fichardt 70 -8 and Dylan Naidoo 71 -8, Germans Marcel Schneider 73 -8 and Marcel Siem 70 -8 and England's Paul Waring 72 -8
