Tommy Fleetwood and Brian Harman both remain in contention for the trophy at 11-under-par. While five players sit on 10-under-par, making it an enticing leaderboard with a day to play.

East Lothian’s Grant Forrest put in another a solid performance today. Finishing level par on the day and keeping him six-under going into the final day.

After a series of strong rounds, the Haddington resident will be confident of maintaining the form going into the final day.

Teeing off at 6.56am tomorrow, Forrest will be eager to round off the tournament on a high and close the gap on the leaders.

Tee times have been brought back in an attempt to avoid the worst of the projected weather tomorrow, which includes high winds and heavy rain.
