Benn Who? leads Austrian Open by three

strokes: It should be a Viennese Waltz?

Benn Barham, a household name only in his own kitchen, can only throw away the Austrian Open championship title on Sunday.
Benn Who??? continued his excellent form, which he has kept well hidden for a long time, to give himself a terrific chance of his first European Tour title.
The 33-year-old unknown soldier from Kent carded a four-under-par round of 67 to secure a three-shot lead going into the final round in Vienna on Sunday.
Barham, who had also topped the leaderboard after the first two rounds, wobbled on the seventh with a double bogey but recovered strongly and managed six birdies to take himself to a 17-under-par total.
Denmark's Soren Hansen (65) is his closest rival three shots back, with the 2007 tournament winner Richard Green, from Australia, a further stroke back in third.
Victory for Barham would secure his card on the European Tour for a fourth consecutive year, and he said: "It was the way you want to play every week - hit fairways, hit greens and hole a few putts.
"We all want that and if you could bottle these feelings and shots, you would be onto something. It makes you wonder sometimes what you have been doing the last seven months. But you learn and it makes you stronger."
The leading Scot on 204 - eight shots off the pace - is former PGA Championship winner, Scott Drummond, desperately striving to hold on to his players' card at the end of this season when his five-year exemption expires. The Anglo-Scot is going back four shots with every round: 64-68-72. What's the odds he has a 76 on Sunday?
