Grace stays out in front

South African Branden Grace remains on course for a startling fifth win of the season after a third-round 69 in the Dunhill Links Championship at Carnoustie.

Playing much the toughest of the three courses used for the £3million celebrity pro-am, the 24-year-old European Tour qualifying school graduate did double-bogey the 15th, but there were still enough good shots to make it another good day's work.

Grace began the week with a Tour record-equalling 60 at Kingsbarns and then added a 67 at St Andrews, where Sunday's final round takes place. On 20 under par his lead stood at five shots after Dane Thorbjorn Olesen double-bogeyed the 17th at Kingsbarns - the hole where Scot Stephen Gallacher sank a 200-yard five-iron for an eagle two that took him into a tie for fourth, six behind.
