EUAN LITTLE JOINT FOURTH WITH ONE
ROUND TO GO IN MADEIRA OPEN

Argentinian Daniel Vancsik, not one of the better-known names on the European Tour, is not only the surprise leader but also by a runaway margin of four strokes with one round to plan in the Madeira Island Open.
Vancsik has shot three very good rounds of 68, 66 and 68 for a 14-under-par, 54-hole tally of 202.
His closest rival is Denmark's Mads Vibe-Hastrup (who played in one of the Doug Sanders European and world boys' championships in Aberdeen in the 1990s). Mads has shot 68,70 and 68 for 206, one clear of Frenchman Christian Cevaer, another player with a link to Aberdeen. Christian won the British youths championship - before the R&A deleted the tournament from the golfing calendar - at Royal Aberdeen.
Given that most of the "big names" are in the United States for the build-up to the US Masters, it is a golden chance for those who are normally overshadowed to get into the limelight.
Like Scot Euan Little for instance. He didn't set the South African Sunshine Tour ablaze a month or two back but here is in a European Tour event sharing fourth place on eight-under-par 208.
Steven O'Hara from Motherwell had a disappointing third round of 76 and he dropped back to one-over-par 217.
David Drysdale, the third Scot among the halfway qualifiers, is on 219 after a 74. David has yet to break the par of 72 in his three rounds.
