SCOTT HENDERSON TWO SHOTS OFF
THE PACE IN KENYA WITH ONE
ROUND TO GO

Greig Hutcheon dropped back with a third-round 75 but fellow North-east tour pro Scott Henderson is still bang in contention with one round to go in the Challenge Tour's Tusker Kenya Open.
Henderson had a 68 for 11-under-par 205 and starts Sunday's final round only two shots behind Argentina's Daniel Barbetti who has made all the running so far.
The English pairing of Gary Clark and Iain Pyman are also in hot pursuit.
Londoner Clark’s bogey-free round of 65, featuring six birdies, was the lowest of the day at Nairobi’s Karen Country Club, and saw the 36 year old move into contention to land his first Challenge Tour title.
Clark was joined on nine under par – one shot off the lead – by compatriot Pyman, who blamed missed putts for a failure to repeat his heroics of the previous day, when he shot a 65.
Both Englishmen have set their sights on overhauling young pretender Barbetti, who has headed the field since his six under par round on the opening day.
After picking up four shots through 12 holes today the Argentine had established a healthy advantage, only to see his lead shrink following a bogey at the 15th and a double bogey on the 16th.
But Barbetti regrouped, and ended his round on a high with a birdie on the final hole.
He said: “I’ve won four tournaments in South America, but this would be the biggest victory of my career. Of course my aim now is to earn a card on the European Tour. That is my dream.”
Another dreaming of victory is home hope Dismas Indiza, who joined Austria’s Thomas Feyrsinger and Scotland’s Scott Henderson on eight under par after shooting a 67.
Henderson, a former winner of the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year award, posted an eagle on the par 5 15th en route to a three under par round of 68.
Having finished the day three shots off the lead Wales’ Liam Bond is also in contention, as are the English duo of Steve Lewton and Gary Boyd, who are a further two shots back.
