Still the man to catch at Leopard Creek

-

Larrazabal birdied the 10th before spectacula­rly chipping in at the 12th to reassert his dominance before holing from 20 feet on the 14th.

Scotland’s David Drysdale lies in a tie for 14th on one-under-par, while compatriot­s Connor Syme and Calum Hill are two shots further back.

■ Clark Dennis produced a bogeyfree round of 65, six-under-par, to take a three-shot lead into today’s final round at the inaugural MCB Tour Championsh­ip – Madagascar.

The American recorded the lowest round of the week as he made six birdies without dropping a shot, which propelled him to the top of the leaderboar­d after starting the day four shots off the top.

He began the day with five consecutiv­e pars before making two gains ahead of the turn at the sixth and ninth holes. The patient and controlled approach continued on the back nine as four successive pars were greeted with a flurry of birdies from the 14th to the 16th before he ended the day with a final gain at the last.

Also racing up the leaderboar­d on day two was 2018 Staysure Tour Rookie of the Year, Paul Streeter, who recovered from three dropped shots in his first three holes, to card five birdies in ten holes, including one on the last to sign for a round of 69 and sit three strokes behind Dennis.

Overnight leader Gary Evans recorded a disappoint­ing round of 73, two-over-par, but remains in contention as part of a chasing pack, including fellow Englishman Barry Lane, Spain’s José Manuel Carriles and Stephen Dodd of Wales, who all share third place four shots off the lead.
