DP World Tour : Italian Open..Leaderboard
The Italian Open presented by Regione Emilia-Romagna is set for a grandstand finish with Sebastian Friedrichsen, Antoine Rozner, Shubhankar Sharma and Marcel Siem all sharing the lead after 54 holes at Adriatic Golf Club Cervia.
The leading foursome will enter the final round at -10 but with 16 players within three shots of the lead, it is all to play for in Ravenna.
Frenchman Rozner made the cut on the number with a birdie on the last on day two but made a stunning surge through the field as he posted a new course record and matched the lowest round of the his DP World Tour career with a 62 to take the lead.
He had finished long before the final groups got under way and while it took some time for anyone to reel him in, he ended the day as part of a leading logjam.
German Siem carded a 66 to join him before India's Sharma completed a bogey-free 67 and Dane Friedrichsen signed for a 68 to make it a four-way tie, one shot clear of Spaniard Adrian Otaegui.
Home favourite Gregorio De Leo, Swiss Joel Girrbach and England's Andrew Wilson were then two shots off the lead, with 12 countries represented in the top 16.
Siem is playing just his fourth event since over three months out following hip surgery and maintained momentum after making the cut last time out at the Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed.
Otaegui was treading water as he played his first 14 holes in level par with two birdies and two bogeys but he birdied the 15th after laying up and put his tee-shot to ten feet at the 17th to sign for a 69 and get within one.
Local favourite De Leo carded a 66, Wilson signed for a 67 and Girrbach recorded a 68 as they all look for a maiden DP World Tour win.
American pair James Nicholas and Gunner Wiebe, German Jannik de Bruyn, Scot Ewen Ferguson, Swede Marcus Kinhult, Italy's Andrea Pavan, Finn Lauri Ruuska and Frenchman Adrien Saddier were three shots off the lead at -7.
