Summary Garth Mulroy made five birdies in a row to grab lead in the Alfred Dunhill Championship.
South Africas Garth Mulroy made five birdies in a row on his homeward nine on Saturday, giving him a third round lead in the Alfred Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek.He carded an eight-under-par 64 to move into a two-stroke lead over Felipe Aguilar, the Chilean who signed for a 68 after his second-round 64.He added that the best way to fix that would be to go out and get a birdie on his first hole on Sunday.Mulroy started his round fast with a pair of birdies on the first two holes, and picked up a third on the sixth hole.His impressive round was in stark contrast to the woes of halfway leader Jbe Kruger, who battled his way to a one-over-par 73 in a round which differed markedly from his opening 36 holes.Kruger was in joint third position with Scotlands Peter Whiteford who carded a 64 to match Mulroy, South Africas Hennie Otto, and Whitefords countryman George Murray.Bremner pulled his tee shot on the 18th way left, hit his approach into the water, and ended up making a good double bogey seven for a round of 69 and sole possession of seventh ahead of the final round.The pursuit of Mulroy will be a tough one, as he is determined to end a year that has been inconsistent with a victory.
