Kenneth Ferrie fired a round of 60 but Paul Lawrie leads by one entering the final round of the Open de Andalucia in Malaga.\n<\/p>\n

Ferrie, languishing at 336th in the world rankings, had made the cut right on the mark and there was little sign of what was to follow on ‘moving day’.<\/p>\n

The Geordie, whose fortunes have taken a turn for the worse since his European Open victory in 2005, went to the turn in three under par before blitzing the back nine.<\/p>\n

Five more birdies and an eagle saw him come home in 29 and record the 14th round of 60 on the European Tour without the help of preferred lies, a score that has never been bettered this side of the Atlantic.<\/p>\n

His approach to the difficult 18th needed to drop for the 59, but despite a great effort it came to rest inches from the cup. <\/p>\n

“It was unspectacular, but spectacular at the same time,” he reflected. “You’d expect somebody with such a low score to have holed putts and hit spectacular shots, but it was just a very steady round.<\/p>\n

“Lots of fairways, lots of greens and a lot of wedge shots to four or five feet which I managed to knock in.<\/p>\n

“Some days you shoot 70 and you are doing cartwheels and are over the moon, but I don’t feel I did anything above and beyond.<\/p>\n

Struggle<\/h4>\n

“I realised that if I finished birdie-birdie-birdie it would have been 59, but 16 and 18 are strong holes and if you get out of position on them you are going to struggle to make pars.<\/p>\n

“My six-iron at the last looked very good, but I would gladly have taken 60 with three to play.”<\/p>\n

Ferrie set the early benchmark and Lawrie was the only player to better it late in the day, the former Open champion recording a flawless round of 65 to finish on 12 under par, meaning he has had just one bogey this week.<\/p>\n

“The pleasing thing is to go out and shoot five-under when you need to,” he told Sky Sports. “I played lovely. The putter’s working a bit better, in the middle a few slipped away, but even I can’t moan about being unlucky today.<\/p>\n

“Overall it was a great day and I’m looking forward to tomorrow. It’s almost like playing llinks golf out there and that’s what I like to play.”<\/p>\n

England’s Mark Foster also went round in 65 to join Ferrie one shot back, while the same score leaves Johan Edfors of Sweden a further two behind.<\/p>\n

Nothing less than a 65 sufficed with Monday’s winner in Sicily Raphael Jacquelin and Jose Manuel Lara moving into contention with five-under-par rounds, to lie four off the pace alongside Felipe Aguilar of Chile.<\/p>\n

But it was a disappointing day for the three joint leaders at halfway, none of whom advanced their position.<\/p>\n

Maarten Lafeber fired a one-over-par 71 while Rikard Karlberg and Jeppe Huldahl carded 72s to slip six shots off the pace.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
