Sweden
Three rounds are complete at Allerum Golf in Sweden, and for the first time this week the European Ladies' Amateur Championship leader holds a multiple-shot advantage. England's Charlotte Naughton posted the best score of the day, an impressive bogey-free five-under 67, to move to eight under par for the championship.
Joining Naughton in the final pairing is home favourite Meja Örtengren. The world number six amateur carded a three-under 69 to reach six under, answering her only bogey at the 17th with a birdie at the par 5 18th. She sits two shots off the lead.
The penultimate group pairs France's Sara Brentcheneff, third at four under after a one-under 71, with former champion Savannah De Bock of Belgium. De Bock signed a level-par 72 to sit tied fourth at three under.
Round 2 leader Alvilda Julia Wiberg of Denmark shares fourth place with De Bock at three under, a three-over 75 costing the Dane the outright lead she held overnight. Austria's Katharina Zeilinger also carded a 75 and is sixth at two under.
Five players are tied for seventh at one under: Spain's D. Campillo Martinez, France's Camille Min Gaultier, Sweden's Ebba Nordstedt and Denmark's Anna Hjerrild Behnsen. Behnsen produced one of the rounds of the day among the chasing pack, a four-under 68, while Min Gaultier signed a 69.
Friday at Allerum Golf also saw the field cut to 60 and ties, with 68 players advancing to Saturday's final score on +7 or better.
