Bernd Wiesberger fired his lowest round of the season so far to take a one shot lead into the final day of the Made in Denmark.
The Austrian missed seven months with a wrist injury last year but has played 12 events so far on the 2019 Race to Dubai, although he is yet to register a top ten as he looks to rediscover the game that brought him four European Tour wins.
A 67 at Himmerland Golf & Spa Resort showed that some of the form was on its way back and moved him to nine under, one clear of Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre.
Germany’s Max Schmitt and Austrian Matthias Schwab were then at seven under, a shot clear of Frenchman Romain Langasque, Spaniard Pablo Larrazábal and England’s Oliver Wilson.
‘I was very much in control of my ball, I hit a lot of good shots,’ said Wiesberger. ‘All in all it was a solid day, a good moving day for me.’
Louis de Jager carded a three under 68 to move up 40 places into a share of 23rd place.
The European Tour rookie both of the front side par 5s to get out in two under and then birdied 14 and 15 to help offset his bogey at the par 3 10th.
Darren Fichardt is level for the tournament after a 70 with Haydn Porteous at +2 (73).
