Otaegui and Wallace share lead in China Open EUROPEAN TOUR COMMUNICATIONS Former British boys champion Adrian Otaegui carded a five-under third-round 67 to catch halfway leader Matt Wallace at the top and set up an exciting Sunday finale at the Volvo China Open, with a packed leaderboard chasing the duo. Spain's Otaegui and Wallace, who plays out of Moor Park GC Herts, have both entered the European Tour winners’ circle in the past 12 months – the Englishman having claimed two victories including his most recent one at last month’s Hero Indian Open, while the Spaniard broke his duck at last year’s Saltire Energy Paul Lawrie Match-play. Otaegui moved to a 12 under par total courtesy of a bogey-free round which was set alight by a run of five successive birdies from the eighth. Wallace had been out on front on his own stepping onto the 16thtee, but after holing a monster putt to save par there, he dropped a shot at the 17th to settle for a 69 and a share of the lead. Swede Alexander Björk, Julien Guerrier of France and Spain's Jorge Campillo were just a shot off the pace on 11 under par as they all chase a maiden victory, while defending champion Alexander Levy – who was seven shots off the lead heading into the final round last year – sits ominously just three strokes back. Player quotes: Matt Wallace “It was up and down today as you could see with my emotions out there. I’m really gutted to finish with a bogey and a par on the last two holes. After the big putt at 16 for par I was a bit too hyped up really and I needed a second on the tee there just to slow myself down and get he ball in play. “I had a chance at par at 17 and missed it and then it was just a bad tee shot down the last. Again it was frustrating but I’m playing really good golf so there’s not much else I can do. I hit it quite close on a few of them, including on nine but it was a tough putt and I missed it on the low side. “Then I was grinding through. I had a good look on 11 at the right edge of the green ans they were a frustrating few holes but I’m still up there. “I’m playing really nicely, I’m hitting it long and straight and if I do that tomorrow I’ll have a few chances at birdie. We’re tied for the lied so I’m pretty happy.” Adrian Otaegui “I played well from the beginning to the end. I made a couple of mistakes but was able to make pars. Those five birdies in a row helped me a lot. “I found the green in two on the eighth and made two putts for birdies. I made good putts on ninth and 10thas well. I hit it onto the green again on the 11th and made a good up and down for birdie on 12th. It was a good run there for me and I managed to par the remaining holes after that. “I think I have been very consistent all week. I am striking the ball well and feeling well so I am happy with that.” Alexander Björk “I played really well today. I had a good chance on almost every hole on the first seven holes to make birdie and only made one. “Then had good run of birdies on holes eight, nine and ten. I’ll just be trying to keep it going tomorrow. I had a couple of putts where I was just over-thinking and reading the wrong line. “My game plan tomorrow is to just try and go out and play like how I did today. Today was one of the best ball striking rounds I’ve had in a long time. If I can just hole a couple more putts tomorrow then hopefully I can get close to a win.” THIRD-ROUND SCOREBOARD Par 216 (3x72) Players from China unless stated otherwise 204 M Wallace (Eng) 65 70 69, A Otaegui (Spn) 68 69 67 205 A Björk (Swe) 66 72 67, J Guerrier (Fra) 68 69 68, J Campillo (Spn) 69 68 68  206 J Choi (SKor) 69 72 65, P Dunne (Ire) 71 68 67, J Wang (SKor) 72 66 68, N Elvira (Spn) 69 67 70, S Kim (USA) 70 66 70, A Pavan (Ita) 68 72 66 207 N Bertasio (Ita) 65 73 69, A Wu 70 71 66, J Scrivener (Australia) 67 69 71, M Manassero (Ita) 72 68 67, C Sordet (Fra) 71 70 66, A Levy (Fra) 69 73 65, S Lee (SKor) 68 69 70 208 S Vincent (Zimbabwe) 66 74 68, M Shin (USA) 71 71 66, J Smith (Eng) 69 69 70, M Ilonen (Finland) 71 70 67, A Chesters (Eng) 72 68 68, J Norris (Australia) 74 64 70 209 D Jin 64 76 69, L Bjerregaard (Denmarl) 70 73 66, A Atwal (India) 69 72 68, H Wu 73 67 69, J Luiten (Netherlands) 70 69 70, S Sharma (India) 69 72 68, C Hanson (Eng) 71 71 67, Y Ikeda (Jpn) 69 72 68 210 R Fox (NZ) 70 72 68, R Gouveia (Portugal) 71 68 71, A Dodt (Australia) 69 72 69, P Larrazábal (Spn) 70 69 71, D Lipsky (USA) 68 75 67 211 J Lagergren (Swe) 73 70 68, M Fraser (Australia) 72 71 68, L Jensen (Denmark) 73 68 70, J Suri (USA) 71 69 71, A Rai (Eng) 73 70 68, T Olesen (Denmarl) 74 67 70, P Khongwatmai (Thailand) 70 72 69, E Molinari (Ita) 72 71 68, K Horne (SAf) 69 74 68, G Green (Malaysia) 73 67 71, S Jamieson (Sco) 67 71 73 212 P Meesawat (Thailand) 73 68 71, M Siem (Ger) 75 68 69, S Horsfield (Eng) 69 70 73, M Kawamura (Jpn) 69 70 73, K Aphibarnrat (Thailand) 73 70 69, G Bhullar (India) 68 72 72, H Li 70 70 72 213 R Lee (Canada) 71 68 74, J Janewattananond (Thailand) 74 68 71, P Pittayarat (Thailand) 68 74 71 214 M Kinhult (Swe) 68 73 73, A Da Silva (Brazil) 70 73 71, T Pulkkanen (Finland) 70 71 73, A Quiros (Spn) 69 71 74, J Morrison (Eng) 70 70 74 215 M Tabuena (Philippines) 71 72 72, Y Liu 70 73 72, K Joshi (India) 71 71 73 216 X Luo 72 68 76, 217 S Kapur (Indi) 73 68 76, R Wattel (Fra) 72 69 76
