Australia’s Andrew Dodt,  pictured above, will look to resist a world-class chasing pack, which includes Open champion Henrik Stenson, Lee Westwood, Branden Grace and Francesco Molinari, in Sunday's final round of the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth Club, Surrey.
 
Dodt fired a sparkling 68 in today's testing conditions over the West Course to charge up the third-round leaderboard and end the day on eight under par 208 and in possession of a one stroke lead over Grace.
 
Westwood and Molinari are tied for third place on five under 211.
 
Stenson sits alongside Irishman Shane Lowry and Japan's Hideto Tanihara on four under, while the English quartet Ross Fisher, Tyrrell Hatton, Andrew Johnston and Graeme Storm joined Thai Kiradech Aphibarnrat, Welshman Bradley Dredge, German Maximilian Kieffer and Scot Scott Jamieson five shots off the lead.
 
A third-round 76 would seem to have killed Jamieson's victory hopes after being in the mix through the first two rounds.
 
The elite field gathered for the first ever Rolex Series event had been treated to glorious sunshine and calm winds over days one and two, and while the sun continued to shine on the revamped West Course, increased gusts made it a different proposition.
 
Luke Donald took 81 blows to get round today.
