• Trophee Hassan II, Day Three

Oosthuizen in control in Morocco

South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen wrestled control of the Trophee Hassan II as a round of 64 secured him a two-shot lead ahead of Sunday's final round.

Oosthuizen started the day in joint second but was excellent in all departments as he moved ahead of Rhys Davies, Thomas Aiken and Thomas Levet.

A rare blot on Oosthuizen's card came at the 17th when he let a putt slide to the right, but he made up for it by holing a 15-footer for birdie on 18.

Halfway leader Davies started with a birdie at the first but gave the shot back one hole later. He failed to truly get his round going, but a 68 kept the Welshman in the hunt two off the lead heading into the final round.

Levet looked like threatening to fire a low round when he birdied six of eight holes, but his charge was stalled on the back nine and he is four off the lead.

Aiken holed monster putts at 12 and 17 and his fantastic touch on the greens kept him in the hunt with a 67, but it could have been better as he bogeyed 18 to leave him four off the lead.

On a day of low scores, Danny Willett fired himself into contention with a stunning round of 64. The Englishman started slowly with three pars, but he did not look back after a birdie at the fourth as he made eight further birdies to move to 14-under.

Robert Rock is another Englishman in contention heading into the final day as he sits a shot further adrift after a 67.

Northern Ireland's Gareth Maybin was another man to catapult himself through the field, as eight birdies took him up to 11-under par - one shot behind Francesco Molinari.
