O'Hara is on Grunwell's tail as Sutherland
Chalice moves into final round at D&G
Local hero Michael Grunwell is still leading in the Sutherland Chalice 72-hole SGU Order of Merit tournament, sponsored by the Royal Bank of Scotland, at Dumfries & Galloway Golf Club.
But his two-shot halfway advantage has shrunk to one shot after he shot a third-round par-matching 70 for a 54-hole tally of eight-under-par 202.
Paul O'Hara (Colville Park), a member of Scotland's European title-winning team, is hot on the trail of his second SGU Order of Merit event victory of the season - he won the Edward Trophy at Glasgow Gailes at the end of April.
Paul had a third round 68 to be a shot off the pace on 203.
Kilmacolm banker Mathew Clark, beaten by Gavin Dear in a play-off for the Craigmillar Park Open at the start of the season, is sharing third plAce with S Crichton of Aberdour.
Banchory's James Byrne, winner of back-to-back events, the Tennant Cup and the East of Scotland Open, continued his roller-coaster weekend with a third-round 73. He dropped five shots to par over his first two holes of his opening round but birdied the first four in his second round. He is one of a bunch on 209 - seven shots to make up over the last 18 holes.
