Plenty of drama as Cyprus Showdown is reduced to a Sunday final 19..live scoreboard

 Cyprus Showdown Sunday scoreboard here

Matthew Jordan and Johannes Veerman carded rounds of 64 to finish top of the leaderboard

after the Saturday shootout at the 2020 Aphrodite Hills Cyprus Showdown but Gavin 

Green will take the momentum into day four after a big finish sealed his place for the final 18 holes.

The week started with 105 players and that was reduced to 32 when the second round was completed on Saturday morning, before round three saw the final field trimmed to 19, with the scores reset to par for the Sunday showdown. This format has provided lots of drama at each stage with players on the cut line Friday, then again today holding their breath to see if they would be in or out.

While Jordan and Veerman were comfortable in the clubhouse at seven under, Jorge Campillo and Thomas Detry were left sweating four shots back at -3 in a tie for 16th as the final group of Green and Richard Bland came up the last.

A birdie or better for Bland would push the Belgian and the Spaniard out of the top 16, while if he were to par and Malaysian Green make an eagle on the par five, the Englishman would also be heading home.

Bland found sand off the tee at the last but managed to save his par and, with Green hitting an incredible second from the rough and making a two putt birdie, both men advanced alongside Campillo and Detry at three under.

Green's chances had looked gone when he bogeyed the 16th but he put his tee shot to five feet at the par three 17th for a birdie before that final gain handed him a 68.

At the other end of the leaderboard, Welshman Jamie Donaldson and German Bernd Ritthammer finished a shot behind Jordan and Veerman, one clear of English trio Marcus Armitage, James Morrison and Callum Shinkwin, South African Louis de Jager, Japan's Masahiro Kawamura, Swede Niklas Lemke and Frenchman Alexander Levy.

England's Steven Brown, Northern Ireland's Jonathan Caldwell, Scot Robert MacIntyre and Finn Sami Välimäki finished round three at four under.

Remember Shinkwin won the regular 72 hole stroke play on this course last week, so he will be looking for the Cyprus double on Sunday where all the players begin at E par. It will take a 63 or 64 to win it, a lot depends on how the officials set the pins.
