Leishman leads Stenson by 1 after 3rd round at Sun City (The Associated Press)

SUN CITY, South Africa (AP) -- Marc Leishman birdied the last two holes to card a 6-under 66 and move into the lead on the third day of the Nedbank Challenge.

The Australian started the day on 8-under par, trailing leader Henrik Stenson by three shots, but a strong back nine saw him close the day on 14 under to lead the Swede by one stroke.

Stenson's birdies at the 14th and 15th put some daylight between himself and the chasing pack, but two bogeys in the last three holes set him back as he signed for a 70.
