Bernd Wiesberger will take a one-shot lead into the final round of the Portugal Masters, after reeling in Ross Fisher during a stellar round on Saturday.

Starting three shots off the pace set by the Englishman, Wiesberger produced one of the best rounds of the day as he navigated the Oceanico Victoria course in Vilamoura in just 65 shots, good enough for him to reach 13-under on the overall leaderboard.

"I took my chances and played beautifully on the back nine," Wiesberger said. "It could have been a bit lower but I'm very happy."

Fisher, who has been playing through an ankle injury, started the day 10-under for the tournament, but could only pick up another two shots against par - with a dropped shot at the last after a missed short putt meaning he will have work to do on Sunday in order to win.

With three shots separating Fisher and the next nearest challenger, however, it looks like it could be a final round shootout between the two men.

"To come through 18 more holes with the way the foot has been, I'm very pleased," Fisher said. "Obviously I'm disappointed to bogey the last; it would have been nice to start the final round with the share of the lead."

An unlikely name leads the rest of the chasing pack, as former US Open champion Michael Campbell reached nine-under for the tournament after an unexpected return to form. The Kiwi shot 67 on Saturday, leaving him in a three-way tie at the mark with Shane Lowry and Richard Finch.

Elsewhere, Mark Foster and Miguel Angel Jimenez will consider themselves to have a chance at eight-under for the tournament, while Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano is among a number of players at seven-under who will not think their chances of victory have disappeared entirely.

That might not be the case for Francesco Molinari, however, despite the Italian moving to five-under after a third round 66. Meanwhile Tom Lewis's reign as the tournament's champion looks set to end on Sunday; the Englishman just one-under for the tournament after a latest round of 70.
