Logjam leaderboard at Tshwane Open

CRAIG LEE'S 66 PUTS HIM IN

 SIX-WAY TIE FOR LEAD
Stirling's Craig Lee shot a third-round 66 to figure in an amazing six-way tie for the lead on nine-under-par 201 in the Tshawne Open at Pretoria Country Club, South Africa today.
Lee came to the fore as a junior, winning the Scottish boys' open amateur stroke-play at Arbroath in 1995. Five years later, having turned pro in 1996, Craig won the Scottish Young Professionals' title

Local favourite George Coetzee is also there for  what promises to be an exciting final round on Sunday.
Coetzee, whose interest in golf started when he won a junior event as a ten year old at this week’s venue shot a third round 68 to join fellow South Africans Wallie Coetsee and Trevor Fisher Jnr, England’s David Horsey,  Spain’s overnight leader Adrian Otaegui and Craig 201 with a lead of one shot.

Lee, who will be 38 in May, carded a four under par 66, the joint lowest round of the day, to set the clubhouse target on nine under par and looked on as none of the later starters was able to overhaul him.
I’m delighted,” said the Scot, who is chasing a maiden European Tour title after twice having been a runner-up. 
“It’s one of those courses where you can go quite low as guys have done, but it doesn’t take much to be offline and then you really get punished around here.
