Lucas Bjerregaard will take a one-shot lead over George Coetzee into the final round at the Portugal Masters at the Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course.
Coetzee holed a monster on the first but when he bogeyed the eighth and birdied the next to turn in 34, he looked to be treading water.
Another birdie on the 11th kept him in contention before he eagled the par five 17th to jump to the top of the leaderboard.
‘It’s amazing. Today was probably the best day of the lot and also the most frustrating, I feel like I’ve left a lot of shots out there but then I might not have run the one on 17 so I’m quite happy with the way it turned out and hopefully tomorrow we can have more of the same,’ said Coetzee after his 67 moved him to -13 after 54 holes.
‘It just shows me that you have to stay patient, just keep ticking away trying to get your birdies and they’ll come sooner or later. Luckily today they did and tomorrow hopefully they’ll do the same. I’m excited to see what the challenge brings, it should be fun playing with a bit of pressure and I’m looking forward to it.
‘I’m feeling good, I’ve kind of got a game-plan for everything. You never know what golf can throw at you but I’m just doing the stuff I want to do.’
