Sweden’s Johanna Gustavsson carded a third-round, four-under 66 at Al Ain Equestrian, Shooting & Golf Club to take a three-shot lead into the final round of the eighth AESGC International Pro-Am.

Four birdies and an eagle helped her on the way to her five-under par total for the tournament:

“There was less wind today so it was a little easier,” said the Ladies European Tour Member. “I made a few silly mistakes but I came back with a few birdies on the back nine. I made a bogey just before on hole six, so it was nice to get it back with an eagle on seven.

“Obviously in the team event as well we are up there so we want to do good so I’ll just try to make as many birdies as I can! We have been coming for a few years now and my teammates love coming here, especially as it is so cold back home.”

Second-round leader Chris Gane posted an even-par 70 to remain at two-under for the event in second place.

Gane and his teammates, Andrew Doswell, Warren Emery and John Harper, continue to top the team leaderboard with 255 pts through 54 holes (-39), followed by Steve Dolley, Claudia Stritecky, Kathi Rabas and Alfred Velharticky, with 249, and Johanna Gustavsson, Hans Gustavsson, Glenn Adolfsson and Arne Ekehed on 245
