Drysdale joint fourth as Supermac Ross goes

seven shots clear with a third-round 60

FROM THE AOL GOLF NEWS SERVICE
Former English amateur champion Ross McGowan is in sight of his first European Tour title after an amazing third round of 60 at the Madrid Masters today.
The 27-year-old from Surrey is seven shots clear with 18 holes to go at Centro Nacional after Sergio Garcia fell away badly in front of his home fans.

McGowan had two eagles, 10 birdies and two bogeys to establish the biggest 54-hole lead of the year on the circuit. The previous biggest was four strokes.
Playing alongside him, world No 8 Garcia - joint halfway leader with Scot David Drysdale - bogeyed four of the last seven holes to crash to ninth place, 10 behind.
Drysdale, meanwhile, carded a 69 to leave England's Danny Willett and Frenchman Michael Lorenzo-Vera in joint second place.
It was the second 60 on the European Tour in under a month, but unlike the one by Rafael Cabrera-Bello to win the Austrian Open, McGowan's will not go down in the record books as placing was allowed on the fairways
