DP World Tour : Alfred Dunhill Championship Leaderboard Tee Times Weather
Marcus Kinhult will take a two-shot lead into Sunday's fourth round as he goes in search of a second DP World Tour title at the Alfred Dunhill Championship.
Kinhult started the day with a three-shot cushion before being joined at the top of the leaderboard by the time he reached the turn as the chasing pack closed in on a much cooler day at Leopard Creek Country Club.
But a brilliant back-nine 35, including a birdie at the last, saw him reach -14 and head into the final round with a healthy advantage over nearest challenger Ryan van Velzen.
The Swede made a total of six birdies and three bogeys in his third-round 69, with home favourite Van Velzen firing an eagle and five birdies in his flawless 65 to sit alone in second place on -12, one clear of Dutchman Darius van Driel in third at -11
Kinhult then finished with a flourish, sending his bunker shot on the 18th to tap-in range before closing with a birdie to take a two-shot lead into the final round.
"It was a bit more of a grind today," said Kinhult, who is searching for his first win since the 2019 Betfred British Masters. "The good was very good but I left myself in some tough positions as well and had to grind.
"I think I did pretty well. It feels like it was less greens in regulation and more pressure on the short game today.
"Sleeping on a lead is not easy, I think. It's only Saturday so it wasn't that bad - I actually slept all right last night and hope I will tonight again.
"I enjoy playing this golf course and I look forward to the challenge tomorrow."
