Richard Mansell continued his brilliant form to shoot a five-under-par 67 at Carnoustie and take a four-shot lead into the final round of the 2022 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
Mansell produced heroics in terrible weather on Friday round the Old Course, St Andrews, and shone again on a bright but breezy day half an hour up the road, posting six birdies and one bogey to reach 15 under.
Alex Noren, playing at the Old Course, spent much of the round alongside Mansell at the summit but sits four back after his three-under 69, and he shares second spot with Daniel Gavins and Ryan Fox, who both produced strong finishes to their rounds at Kingsbarns Golf Links
Mansell, who has three top-five finishes this year as he chases a first DP World Tour win, said: "I played really, really good. We had one bogey on nine. I hit a good shot in, and again, was just really in control of my golf ball. I've putted good.
"I did a lot of good work. Me and my coach, Mike Kanski, he's helped massively. He was here at the start of the week. And I feel really in control of my golf game right now.
"I've been in contention a lot this year and had chances on Sundays. Every time, they say in golf, that you don't lose, you learn. That's what I feel like I've done really well this year.
"Tomorrow there's a lot of golf. It's links golf, anything can happen. It's St Andrews. People can shoot 60. I'm just really focused on myself right now. I'm going to try and shoot a good score and see where it puts me. And just not worry about anyone else."
Antoine Rozner, who shot 63 at the Old Course on Thursday, and Niklas Nørgaard Møller are on ten under.
Canada'a Aaron Cockerill playing on a sponsors exemption couldn't take advantage of his good fortune after an opening -7 65...An 81 in brutal Friday weather and today -1 at Carnoustie weren't enough with the cut falling at -1. He was +1
