Marcel Siem leads Celtic Manor Wales Open by three shots

FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
A day of some spectacular scoring in the Wales Open at Celtic Manor - so different to the second round - ended with German Marcel Siem on track to become the third successive shock winner of the title.
Twelve months after world number 377 Jeppe Huldahl triumphed and two years after it was number 164 Scott Strange, the game's 294th-ranked player had a bogey-free 66 to reach 11 under par 202.
Siem, a pony-tailed 29-year-old who has never played a major and whose only previous European Tour victory came six years ago, leads by three from Dane Thomas Bjorn and Spaniard Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano.
But it was the trio one stroke further back who turned on the most style.
Scotland's Stephen Gallacher set the ball rolling, smashing the course record by two with an eight under par 63 that moved him from 35th to fourth with 18 holes to go (SCROLL DOWN FOR A LONGER STORY ABOUT GALLACHER'S ROUND).
Northern Irishman Graeme McDowell joined him on seven under with a 64 and then England's Simon Dyson, seventh in the race for Ryder Cup places, shot 65 to be on the same mark.
