James Morrison leads by three in Madeira Islands Open
FROM THE AOL GOLF NEWS SERVICE
James Morrison has opened up a three-shot lead at the Madeira Islands Open after Saturday's round of 66 put him at 18 under for the tournament.
The 25-year-old got off to a slow start, a birdie on the third was cancelled out by a bogey on the sixth.
But six birdies on the back nine, including two to finish, moved him clear at the top.
George Murray, the former Scottish amateur champion from Anstruther, is currently second at 15 under following a round of 68.
Oliver Fisher, who carded a disappointing round of 72 on Friday, undid much of that damage with a superb 65 that lifted him to 12 under.
Fisher is one stroke clear of Simon Thornton, who signed for a round of 71 as he dropped back.
LEADING THIRD ROUND TOTALS
Par 216 (3x72)
198 J Morrison 67 65 66.
201 G Murray 66 67 68.
204 O Fisher 67 72 65.
205 S Thornton 68 66 71.
