Dec 07, 2019: Thomas Detry, Calum Hill and Antoine Rozner will take a one shot lead into the final round of the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open after a day of low scores at Heritage Golf Club.

Hill started the day with a one shot lead but after his round of 68 he was sharing it with four others in the closing stages of round three, as a host of players took advantage of the favourable conditions on the island paradise.

Birdies on the last from the Scotsman, Detry and Rozner then moved them all to 16 under par, a shot clear of Dane Rasmus Højgaard and Sihwan Kim of the United States.

Belgian Detry has 13 top tens from 84 European Tour events – with two in his last four – as he knocks on the door of a first European Tour win after carding a 67 in Bel Ombre.

Hill and Frenchman Rozner, who signed for a third round 66, both claimed two wins as they graduated from the European Challenge Tour last season and the duo are seeking their maiden European Tour victories in their rookie campaigns.

Italian Renato Paratore went bogey free for the first time in 48 rounds to sit two shots off the lead at 14 under par alongside South African Brandon Stone, who recovered from an opening triple bogey to post a round of 69.

South African Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Scot Connor Syme are at 13 under par, a shot clear of another Scot in Grant Forrest, Frenchman Benjamin Hebert, Dane Søren Kjeldsen and China’s Wu Ashun.
