England's Simon Dyson holds the tournament lead after three rounds at the Open de Espana, despite a double bogey at the 18th on Saturday.

Dyson is now at five under through 54 holes, one stroke ahead of Soren Kjeldsen and Pablo Larrazabal.

He would have walked away with a more significant cushion had it not been for a late wobble, as he took six at the last. Dyson needed two shots to get himself out of a bunker, and then was unable to limit the damage when he found his way onto the green.

Dyson, the highest ranked player in the field at world No. 36, did not look too affected by the strong winds on a day that featured a two-hour delay due to a flooded course. He had a one-under 71, with five birdies.

Robert Rock is five shots off the lead going into Sunday, as is Matteo Manassero, while Francesco Molinari is four back.

Overnight leader Gregory Bourdy had an 80 and has slumped back into a tie for 24th.
