Gavin Dear takes over lead in
Craigmillar Park Open
Murrayshall's Gavin Dear has deposed Matthew Clark (Kilmacolm) as leader with a third-round 64 for a 14-under-par tally of 196 as the weekend of low scoring continued in the Craigmillar Park Open at the parkland Edinburgh venue.
Clark, who equalled the course record of 61 in Saturday's second round, had a four-under-par 67, a good effort in itself but not good enough Dear at bay.
But it is so tight at the top of the leaderboard going into the fourth and final round.
Dear leads by one from Clark with English challenge Jack Senior (Heysham) and Paul O'Hara (Colville Park) a shot further back in joint third place on 198
And then there's Scottish stroke play champion Wallace Booth coming up hard on the rails. Wallace shot the lowest score of the third round - an eight-under-par 63 - unbelievably with 33 putts, which shows good the rest of his play was. Booth is on his own in fourth place on 199, only three shots behind leader Dear.
Let's tempt fate and say the winner will come from the leading five!
