Mauritius Open 2016: Saturday Leaderboard Scores and Highlights

Siddikur Rahman put together a stunning three-under-par round of 69 in torrid conditions at the Mauritius Open on Saturday to take a one-shot lead into the final round. 

The Bangladeshi star handled the blustery elements brilliantly to chalk up four birdies and just one bogey and move seven under for the tournament.

Jeunghun Wang continued to produce the goods on the big stage with an excellent one-under round of 71 to go to six under par, while Nicolas Colsaerts is a further three shots back ahead of Sunday.

Here’s a look at the full leaderboard after an eventful Round 3 at the Four Seasons Golf Club:

Pos.	Golfer	To Par	Round 3
1	Siddikur Rahman	-7	69
2	Jeunghun Wang	-6	71
T3	Nicolas Colsaerts	-3	73
T3	Andrew Dodt	-3	77
5	Scott Hend	-1	69
6	Brandon Stone	E	68
T7	Estanislao Goya	+1	69
T7	Lionel Weber	+1	72
T7	Oliver Bekker	+1	73
T7	Jaco Ahlers	+1	74

Andrew Dodt started the day three shots clear of Wang and four ahead of Rahman on eight under at the top of the leaderboard, and he threatened to surge ahead after putting together an excellent two-under front nine.

However, the conditions then got the better of the Australian, as a wild shank on the 13th saw him card a double bogey and start the unravelling.

Dodt went on to card a five-over-par round of 77, yet at three under par, he remains just four shots back of Rahman.

It was the Bangladeshi who really stole the show, though.

His short game was exemplary, and the fact that he only carded one bogey all day is testament to how well Rahman played.

The difficult 16th brought out his best, as he produced an incredible second shot to set up a rare birdie on the treacherous hole, as European Tour revealed:

Two pars to finish gave Rahman his seven under total, yet he’ll be looking over his shoulder at Wang.

The South Korean carded four birdies and three bogeys in a topsy-turvy day on the course, yet his ball striking and course management remained as impressive as ever.

Colsaerts is the nearest challenger to the top two at three under, after he put together a round that could have been so much better.

The Belgian signed for five birdies on Saturday, but sloppy errors cost him dearly. Still, if he produces shots like he did on the sixth hole on Sunday, he’ll be very much in the hunt, per ET:

The weather dictated the scoring in Mauritius on Saturday, and the breeze is unlikely to let up as we head into the final round.

Rahman has proved that he has the ability to go low in the wind, yet it could all come down to who grinds out the scores best.
