Casey Jarvis shared the lead for the third straight day at the 2026 Magical Kenya Open as he and Angel Ayora went into the final round tied at -17
Spaniard Ayora carded a -6 64, his second of the week, but Jarvis' 66 ensured he stayed locked at the top.
Fellow South African Hennie Du Plessis was a shot behind -16 along with American Davis Bryant, with the top eight on the leaderboard all chasing their maiden win on the DP World Tour.
Ayora went out in 33 with birdies at the second and seventh before a run of three in a row straight after the turn took him to 16 under.
His playing partners Bryant and Du Plessis both birdied the last to join him on that mark before the Spaniard slotted in a four of his own to go one ahead again.
Jarvis was coming down the hole in the group behind and was safely in the fairway off the tee, ultimately also making birdie as his eagle putt came up a foot short.
Jarvis, who shared the lead with Niklas Lemke after day one, with Frederic Lacroix through two rounds and now Ayora, said: "I think I played pretty solid, played the front nine really nicely, just didn't make as many putts as I would have liked. Bit of a shaky tenth hole but brought it back nicely.
"(Ayora's) a fantastic player and I think tomorrow we'll both hopefully push each other and we'll see what happens."
Ayora said: "Well today was a nice round, bogey-free, that's an amazing feeling. I'm playing very good and hope to repeat that tomorrow.
Du Plessis recovered from bogeys at the third and fourth holes to shoot 65, with six birdies on the back nine including each of the last three holes.
Bryant was one better on the day, following Friday's 63 with a 64 to also reach 16 under - the 26-year-old has dropped just two shots in his 54 holes.
Francesco Laporta was on his own at -15 under after a 65 while Nathan Kimsey was the first of the leading pack to complete his round, a bogey-free 64 capped by an exceptional up-and-down at the last to record his sixth birdie of the day and reach -14.
Aaron Cockerill reached -13 with a 62, the low round of the day. The Canadian started on the back nine with three birdies and an eagle then responded to a dropped shot at the third by finishing his day with a run of four birdies
