McArthur rues last-hole double bogey   EUROPEAN TOUR COMMUNICATIONS South African George Coetzee will take a slender one shot lead into the final round of the inaugural AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open following a bogey-free third round of 65 at the Heritage Golf Club. The two time European Tour winner, who is the highest ranked player in the field, made his move with a stunning front nine, pitching in for eagle on the seventh hole, following birdies on the second and fifth holes, before a further gain on the ninth. He picked up another shot on the 14th hole to move to 11 under par for the tournament, with compatriot Thomas Aiken (68) and overnight leader Thorbjørn Olesen (70) tied for second place on ten under par. Dane Olesen, the overnight leader by one shot, struggled with his driver throughout the third round, but he produced three birdies on the back nine, as well as a string of impressive par saves, to remain in contention in his first tournament back after three months out with a hand injury. Singapore’s Mardan Mamat is a further two shots back on eight under par following a round of 67  Glasgow's Andrew McArthur, a former Scottish amateur champion, was left to rue a closing double bogey as he signed for a round of 68 to lie four strokes off the pace, in a four-way share of fifth position on seven under par. Key player quotes George Coetzee – 65 (-11 total) “As I walked off the course, I told my manager I don’t know how I’m shooting under par the way I’m playing, but obviously the course must suit my eye pretty well. Any way you get to a 65 is okay. I’m pretty happy, but I made it difficult for myself on the back nine. But I felt like I hit enough good shots to maybe have some confidence for tomorrow. “I don’t know if I’m getting that winning feeling again. With golf, you never know what’s coming tomorrow, but I’ll definitely be giving it my best. I’ve played enough tournaments to have picked up experience and kind of know what to expect, but really, you never know what you’re going to get. I feel like I’m pretty comfortable with the way to handle things and I’m happy with the way my mind’s working at the moment.” Thomas Aiken – 68 (-10 total) “This is a risk and reward course. I went the conservative route today and still made a couple, so all in all I’m happy with the day and I’m nicely position going into tomorrow. Hopefully the weather plays its part tomorrow and we get a fair test of golf. “George is a good friend of mine so it will nice to go out and do battle with him on the course tomorrow. He’s played great golf today. He was five under on the front nine which in that weather is great golf. It should be fun tomorrow. There are a few tough holes and depending on what the weather does, it should be a good day to watch.” Thorbjørn Olesen – 70 (-10 total) “My par saves were pretty amazing today. I’m happy that we are done now because it was not pretty out there. I was trying to find an escape and get the best score I could. I hit a lot of poor tee shots. The save on 14 was incredible and the save on 17 was also amazing. It was a tough round today and it took a lot of concentration and belief in myself. “The rough is tricky and there are a few long holes so if you make the rough you can’t get it on the green. My tee shots were just really poor, not good enough. Hopefully I can find something overnight otherwise it is going to be a long round tomorrow. “I couldn’t be happier that I’m only one shot off the lead with the way I played today. I’m still in contention and I have a good chance tomorrow. I have to find something from tee though to get my ball on the fairway.” THIRD-ROUND TOTALS Par 213 (3x71) 202 G Coetzee (RSA) 70 67 65 203 T Olesen (Den) 65 68 70, T Aiken (RSA) 69 66 68 205 M Mamat (Sin) 69 69 67 206 A McArthur  (Sco) 68 70 68, N Holman  (Aus) 67 73 66, C Pigem (Esp) 65 72 69, D Burmester (RSA) 67 68 71 207 J Janewattananond (Tha) 69 70 68, M Bremner (RSA) 71 70 66 208 O Bekker (RSA) 66 71 71, M Fitzpatrick  (Eng) 68 67 73, J Parry (Eng) 67 70 71, M Kawamura (Jpn) 68 69 71, J Roos (RSA) 70 71 67, M Muthiya  (Zam) 67 74 67, S Hend (Aus) 72 66 70, T Van Der Walt (RSA) 73 66 69, P Edberg (Swe) 68 66 74  209 S Lewton (Eng) 70 69 70, D Van Tonder  (RSA) 73 70 66, J Palmer (Eng) 71 69 69, B Ritthammer (Ger) 71 70 68, T Khrongpha (Tha) 69 72 68, V Riu  (Fra) 71 70 68, C Paisley  (Eng) 72 69 68, J Walters (RSA) 67 73 69, S Brazel (Aus) 69 70 70,  210 K Horne (RSA) 70 69 71, A Tadini (Ita) 71 69 70, B Evans  (Eng) 70 70 70, C Hung (Tpe) 70 71 69, J Hahn (USA) 70 72 68, A Pavan (Ita) 73 69 68, A Groom (Aus) 71 71 68,  211 U Park (Aus) 72 70 69, B Virto Astudillo (Esp) 68 72 71, A Dodt (Aus) 72 69 70, M Perera (Sri) 72 71 68, P Peterson (USA) 69 70 72, C Del Moral (Esp) 68 74 69, J Hugo  (RSA) 73 69 69, P Martin Benavides (Esp) 72 66 73, T Pilkadaris (Aus) 66 71 74, R Gangjee (Ind) 67 70 74, M Lundberg (Swe) 68 71 72  212 R McGowan  (Eng) 70 72 70, C Lloyd (Eng) 73 70 69, K Richardson (Aus) 73 66 73, R Lee (Can) 72 68 72, T Wiratchant (Tha) 71 71 70, J Garcia Pinto (Esp) 71 69 72  213 C Nel (RSA) 69 69 75, K Phelan (Irl) 68 73 72, J Colomo  (Esp) 72 69 72, J Wang (SKor) 65 72 76, E Goya (Arg) 70 71 72, E De La Riva  (Esp) 71 71 71, S Barr (Aus) 69 73 71, C Phadungsil  (Tha) 72 71 70  214 A Da Silva (Bra) 72 69 73, D Van Den Heever (RSA) 73 70 71, G Bhullar (Ind) 72 71 71, J Lagergren (Swe) 70 71 73, R Wannasrichan (Tha) 74 69 71,  215 D Chopra (Swe) 70 68 77, R Karlberg  (Swe) 68 75 72, P Oriol (Esp) 70 73 72, R Cairns (Zim) 69 74 72, J Scrivener (Aus) 71 72 72  216 S Supupramai (Tha) 70 73 73, D Woltman (USA) 67 74 75, P Pittayarat (Tha) 67 74 75,  217 C Bouniol (Fra) 71 70 76 E
