Scott Vincent of Zimbabwe kept up the chase as he signed for a 66, highlighted by four consecutive birdies from holes 12 to 15. A bogey on the 18th spoiled his plans for a grandstand finish but he is happy to be placed in the final group on Sunday.
Sihwan Kim will be playing alongside the leading duo after carding a 67 to sit in lone third place. The American was nearly flawless on Saturday, trading six birdies against a lone bogey.
