Charl Schwartzel took a three-shot lead into the final round of the Alfred Dunhill Championship as he closed in on a fourth career success at the Leopard Creek course in Malelane.
The South African ground out a two-under-par 70 after bogeying the first, with France's Sebastien Gros the stand-out performer in the third round with a nine-under-par 63.
Gros joined compatriot Benjamin Hebert in a tie for second after the latter's four-under round of 68 .
Schwartzel, 31, dropped a shot on the par-four first and had a nervy six-foot putt to save par on the third.
